603.0. "tex errors generating contents file" by TLE::MICHAELS (Karen Michaels) Tue Jul 07 1987 13:38

I am getting a bunch of errors from TEX when I try to generate a table of
contents for my document.  The command that I used was: 

$ doc /noprint/content bad s.s post

I also get tex errors if I try to generate LN03 output.  But I can generate the
document afterwards by executing the following command:

$ doc /notag/notex bad s.s post

The input file is very large (about 1600 lines).  If you need to see it, let me
know.

603.1revision bars CLOSET::ANKLAMTue Jul 07 1987 15:136
    
    It looks as if some revision tags have crept into the table of
    contents,and it may be unmatched. Can you send me the contents.TEX
    file?

603.2I can duplicate itVAXUUM::SEGALTue Jul 07 1987 16:105
    Do you have something like this in your source file?
    
    <head1>(<mark>Text of heading<endmark>)

603.3noTLE::MICHAELSKaren MichaelsTue Jul 07 1987 18:166
re: .2

No.  I have many mark tags in my file, but none nesting inside head1 tags.
There are however some nested inside other tags.

603.4Not just <HEAD1>BUNSUP::LITTLETodd Little NJCD SWS 323-4475Thu Jul 09 1987 01:095
    I don't think the problem is unique to <HEAD1>.  Do you have mark
    tags as part of the argument to any tag that generates a table of
    contents entry?

603.5inside routine tagsTLE::MICHAELSKaren MichaelsThu Jul 09 1987 10:095
I have it in the middle of a routine tag, for example:

<ROUTINE>(<MARK>IPSE$CLOSE_COMMAND_FILE<ENDMARK>)

      ---Karen
603.6It's the TOC entryVAXUUM::SEGALThu Jul 09 1987 14:1610
    That's EXACTLY what I meant. I believe I said "something like".
    Sorry to cause confusion. Move the mark and endmark tags OUTSIDE
    the routine tag. Your code is sending revision bar information
    to the table of contents and that's what's causing the error.
    
    <ROUTINE> (and <HEADn>, <TABLE>(arg), etc) all send stuff
    to the contents, and cannot contain embedded marks. Will see if
    the tag translator can/is checking.

    The TeX error caused by the revision bars getting included in the
    table of contents has been fixed in V1.0.
