[Tex/LaTex] TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000] after loading “hanging module” in both parent and child documents in LyX Classicthesis

capacityclassicthesiserrorslyx

I use classicthesis-LyX-v4.2_biblatex_bibtex8

I got this error message when I load hanging module into the parent document (probably my personal issue, as I tried it on the newly downloaded template, there was no such message)
Error description: "If you really absolutely need more capacity,
you can ask a wizard to enlarge me."

Action 1:

If I remove

the child document bibliography.lyx, which contains all references (I don't have time to use database, so I just copied the endnote reference list from word) converted from standard environment to hanging environment (by loading hanging module)
the hanging module

from the parent document (classicthesis), then everything is back to normal again, no error message at all.

Action 2:

If I replace the bibliography.lyx in a newly downloaded Classicthesis template with my created bibliography.lyx, no errors at all.

Action 3:

I copied the parent document from the newly downloaded template to replace the existing one, then the same error message pops up as well.

Therefore, I presume it is caused by a clash between the created bibliography.lyx and my written chapters. Is it because my thesis has too much stuff? How to enlarge the capacity?

Best Answer

Based on hanging package chokes on apostrophes,

simply add \usepackage[notquote]{hanging} to Document->Setting->Latex Preamble for both the parent document (that is, classicthesis.lyx) and the child document in which you want to use hanging module (for example, Bibliography.lyx) solves the problem!

It seems that the PhDbiblio-url2 bibliography style does not want the url field to contain \url{...}. It takes care of the url formating itself, enclosing the contents of the url field in \href{...}.

If you have something like

url = {\url{http://example.com/}};

in you .bib file, the PhDbiblio-url2 style translates that into

\href{\url{http://example.com/}}

which creates an infinite loop in the hyperref package.

The proper way to include url in the bibliography, when using this style, is just

url = {http://example.com};

You have no

\end{document}

in the file so tex runs off the end of the file and starts taking input from the terminal with its interactive * prompt.

*
(Please type a command or say `\end')

If you type \end in latex you get the wrong thing as \end has been redefined to end environments, you could type \stop but if you type \end twice you get the equivalent of \end{\end} and the error you show.

(Please type a command or say `\end')
*\end

*\end
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [input stack size=5000].
\end #1->\csname end#1
                      \endcsname \@checkend {#1}\expandafter \endgroup \if@e...
<*> \end

!  ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

The solution is to add \end{document} to the end of the file.
