How deeply are those lists nested? LaTeX has a maximum on that as well: 4 levels of a specific kind of list, and 6 levels total (so you could put for levels of bullet-list into an enumerated list for example).

LaTeX Error: Too deeply nested. I guess that it's due to excessive subsections, or --- in Org mode documents --- this can also happen if you have headings such as "***********" or similar exagerated structure. The heading "***********" by default is exported as an item list (`itemize' environment), or as an enumerated list (`enumerate' environment), depending on the heading level. Good academic and writting practice tells that headings shouldn't be more than four levels deep. In LaTeX (which is used for PDF export), and its default `article' class, you can have `section{}', `subsection{}', `subsubsection{}' and --- if I'm not mistaken --- `subsubsubsection{}'. At least for the LaTeX `book' class, before `section{}', there is `\chapter{}'. In all cases, those headings that are deeper than four are exported as lists by Org mode when converting to LaTeX and to PDF. -- - https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno - Palestrante e consultor sobre /software/ livre (não confundir com gratis). - "WhatsApp"?

Indeed, if your writing is to be read by other people, not just yourself, you should try to stay to no more than two levels. If you feel you need levels deeper than two, perhaps your should refactor your writing. When I say "two" do I mean * and **, or do I mean ** and ***? Well, I guess that depends upon what the value of two is. Moreover, as we can already see in this discussion, any attempt to correct errors of style, grammar or spelling will itself contain additional errors. This phenomenon is sometimes called Muphry's Law. Yes, Muphry, not Murphy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry%27s_law ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread
