PDF file was not produced! Too deeply nested!??

[Sebastien Vauban]

Hello,

With the following Org-Beamer ECM, I've got a "too deeply nested" error.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE:     PDF file was not produced!

  + Impact on performance

** Iterations on ...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

On http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=toodeep, they say:

   "LaTeX keeps track of the nesting of one list inside another. There is a
    set of list formatting parameters built-in for application to each of the
    list nesting levels; the parameters determine indentation, item
    separation, and so on. The list environment (the basis for list
    environments like itemize and enumerate) "knows" there are only 6 of these
    sets."

But, here, I only have 4 indentation levels (the level 2 "Iterations on
architecture" being an item as well, as BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL is 1).

If I remove:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    * What logic at which place?
    * Which data, where?
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

then I only have 3 levels, and everything compiles right.

But with that 4-th level (far from 6!), the compilation simply ends in error.

Anyone understanding why this happens?

Best regards,
  Seb

Apparently the FAQ is wrong: 4 will compile, 5 will not - e.g. the
following will not compile with my setup:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{itemize}
\item foo
  \begin{itemize}
  \item bar
    \begin{itemize}
    \item baz
      \begin{itemize}
      \item hunoz
        \begin{itemize}
        \item hukerz
        \end{itemize}
      \end{itemize}
    \end{itemize}
  \end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That's probably part of the explanation - the extra frame enclosing the
nested list in your case might have something to do with the rest but
that's purely a guess.

Confirmed...

Then, yes, it seems that, somehow, the frametitle is eating 1 nesting level,
leaving just maximum 3 indentation levels for the lists.

One can say that 3 nesting levels is enough for slides (even if the above was
a real case: compiling slides from a colleague), so don't spend time on trying
to understand was the limit is 3 and not 4 levels (and not 6, as falsely
adverted in the FAQ).

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,
  Seb

Please precisely point at what we should fix in the FAQ so that someone
can do it.

Thanks!

The false information is not in Org's FAQ; it's in LaTeX's FAQ. So, nothing to
do here on this matter...
