Friends, I have a six-chapter book manuscript that I am preparing in LaTeX. I am by no means a power user. Each chapter is in a separate file, and there is a small driver file that contains only declarations and \include statements. In the sixth chapter, there is an \enumerate sequence, comprising a \begin{enumerate}, three \items, and an \end{enumerate}. There is a similar sequence in the fifth chapter, and none elsewhere. When I go to process the whole thing, I get a "Nested too deep!" error, and a pointer to the \enumerate environment in chapter six, but nothing seems amiss there. Worse, when I use \includeonly to process chapter six by itself, there is no error. If I process only chapters five and six, there is no error. If I process only chapters four, five and six, the error does appear, but it does not appear with only chapters four and six. There are no other list environments anywhere in the manuscript. The \enumerate environment in chapter six and, for that matter, in chapter five, occur in regular text, not in any other special environment. To recap the \includeonly situations where I do and don't get the error: 6 alone -- no error 6 and 5 -- no error 6 and 5 and 4 -- error ("Nested too deep!") 6 and 4 -- no error 1 through 6 -- error 4 and 5 -- no error (Obviously!) This makes no sense to me. Do any of you have any idea what could cause such strange behavior? -- Todd Moody * sjuphil!tmoody@uunet.uu.net (Whatever that means) "The mind-forg'd manacles I hear." -- William Blake
