An outline, when exported as PDF, shows no sections. When exporting to LaTeX, the following message is received: ERROR: LaTeX Error: Too deeply nested. --- TeX said --- See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H for immediate help. ... l.110 \begin{itemize} --- HELP --- There are too many list-making environments nested within one another. How many levels of nesting are permitted may depend upon what computer you are using, but at least four levels are provided, which should be enough. When I am able to clear out a couple of levels of /begin{itemize}, LaTeX does compile, and produces a file with sections as expected. Is there a solution, or something I ought to know? I have tried to set some options, like sec:5, in the outline, but to no effect. In the PDF, instead of sections with numbers, one finds several stars, as though this were an ascii export. Thank you for any advice. Alan Davis It is undesirable to believe a proposition when there is no ground whatsoever for supposing it is true. ---- Bertrand Russell
