Hyperref with multiple sub-files
Patrick Berthoud
I would like to use the "hyperref" package to produce hyperlinks in my
thesis, which is built with a main document and many different included
chapters (separate files). If I just compile the first pages without any
references to other chapters, everything works fine. But when LaTeX
tries to make hyperlink with other files (the chapters), I get the
following error message : "missing \endcsname inserted". I've tried to
use the package "xr-hyper.sty" that comes with hyperref (released
93-97), but without success. Could anyboby advice me ?
Thanks

Typically I use the following:
\chapter{Chapter One}
\input{chap1.tex} % this is chapter 1 file
using this method allows me to put chap1 anywhere I please it the file
chap1.tex doesn't make any reference to being chapter 1, so it can be
used anywhere.
Otherwise there is no difference when using \section-ing commands with
or without hyperref. They work the same.

\documentclass{Book}
\includeonly{Intro}
\usepackage[dvips,...]{hyperref}
...
\begin{document}
\include{Intro}
\include{Exp}
\end{document}
The file Intro.tex looks like this :
\chapter{Introduction}
\label{chap:intro}
\section{Historique}
\label{sec:intro:histo}
...
blablabla
When LaTeX comes to references \ref{chap:exp} in the Intro.tex, whose
label is placed in Exp.tex , it breaks with error message
! Missing \endcsname inserted.
How to solve the problem ?
Thanks

* No idea, because I cannot reproduce the error.
(If there are non-hyperref .aux files, then I get
another error message.)
* You should make a minimal test file that reproduces
the error.
* Which versions you are using?

First of all, make sure you have the last hyperref version; then try a
"clean" compilation; that is, delete all .aux, .lot, .lof etc files before
compiling the first time; I noticed that adding hyperref to a
perfecly-behaving LaTeX document already compiled would break things up,
because hyperrref changes the .aux format, and cannot cope with the original
format (there should be a warning when LaTeX reads the .aux files at the
beginning of the compilation process).
If this is not the problem, could you please post a short example?

Everything works fine even if I put chapters (Introduction) and chapter
(Dispositif expérimental) in separate files and I include them with \include
commands. My problem seems to come from the package \usepackage[frenchb]{babel}.
If I use this to typeset in french, I get the folllowing error :
Chapitre 1.
! Missing \endcsname inserted.

\unskip
l.17 ... (second chapter) : \ref{chap:exp}
Do you know what to do ?
Thanks

If this package is the problem, a minimal test file looks such as:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Introduction}\label{chap:intro}
\ref{chap:intro}
\end{document}
Only _6_ lines!

Yes, but it seems that you cannot read:

In old versions there was a bug in versions below 1999/06/27 v6.61.
The current version, however, is 2000/04/12 v6.70e and
is available at
