Building Latex Part 2 - Infinite loop

[J David Eisenberg]

When I run xelatex on the output from the pretext build, I get the output in the attached file. XeLaTex then appears to go into an infinite loop; I left it running for 20 minutes and it did not complete, with CPU at 100% the entire time.

There are several messages of the form:

LaTeX Warning: Hyper reference `section-simple-python-data_variables' on page 7
undefined on input line 1246.

The links do exist, however, and they build correctly for the web.

[Rob Beezer]

Those LaTeX warnings are spurious.

Can you search the LaTeX itself for the inserted text? There should be enough
other text to locate the problem solution-like.

If this is related to part 1, I did find an exercise that wasn’t
labeled at all, and wasn’t *really* an exercise, so I eliminated the
<exercise> and </exercise> tags. The debug output went away. The “bug”
message remained.

Sorry, I didn't see the Part 2.

For Part 2: please post your LaTeX file as produced by PreTeXt.

Here it is...

Looks like Section 12.4 has two "program" inside a "tabular", and this could be
the hang-up.

PreTeXt does not use tables for layout control.

Likely a "sidebyside" will give the desired look and feel.

Can you see how you do without that "tabular"?

Found the problem with the exercise component error; it was a <solution> that was not inside an <exercise> at all.

Found the problem by inserting debug output where the error message is displayed to also display value of ./name() and ..

Fixing that did not change the infinite loop situation, unfortunately

[J David Eisenberg]

<sidebyside> solved the infinite loop but did not give me really great-looking results; the programs had to scroll horizontally to see the entire content.

I decided to put the programs one after the other, which looks OK if not “as beautiful as I would like.”

Posting the HTML may inspire someone to suggest an alternative.
