Try \the\cavename instead of \cavename (it is a TeX way to display value of token register). Martin On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 4:53 AM, Dave Clucas <dave.clucas@icloud.com> wrote:
I’ve tried out the following example from thbook adding this to my layout

This works fine for \northarrow and \scalebar but when I tried it with \cavename or \comment I get the following error

l.12 \setbox\xxx=\hbox to \x{\maplayout \hfill}%\dp\xxx=0bp A left brace was mandatory here, so I've put one in. You might want to delete and/or insert some corrections so that I will find a matching right brace soon. (If you're confused by all this, try typing `I}' now.)

I've inserted something that you may have forgotten. (See the <inserted text> above.) With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.
