|
|
|
When a document gets really large, you may want to subdivide it into
|
|
smaller pieces. This both makes the individual pieces more easily reusable
|
|
in other works and it improves the editor's responsiveness. An entire file
|
|
can be inserted into another one using <menu|Insert|Link|Include>. In order
|
|
to speed up the treatment of included documents, they are being buffered.
|
|
In order to update all included documents, you should use
|
|
<menu|Tools|Update|Inclusions>.
|
|
|
|
When writing a book, one usually puts the individual chapters in files
|
|
<verbatim|c1.tm>, <verbatim|c2.tm> until <verbatim|cn.tm>. One next creates
|
|
one file <verbatim|book.tm> for the whole book, in which the files
|
|
<verbatim|c1.tm>, <verbatim|c2.tm> until <verbatim|cn.tm> are included
|
|
using the above mechanism. The table of contents, bibliography, etc. are
|
|
usually put into <verbatim|book.tm>.
|
|
|
|
In order to see cross references to other chapters when editing a
|
|
particular chapter <verbatim|ci.tm>, one may specify <verbatim|book.tm> as
|
|
a \Pmaster file\Q for the files <verbatim|c1.tm> to <verbatim|cn.tm> using
|
|
<menu|Tools|Project|Attach master>. Currently, the chapter numbers
|
|
themselves are not dealt with by this mechanism, so you may want to
|
|
manually assign the environment variable <src-var|chapter-nr> at the start
|
|
of each chapter file in order to get the numbering right when editing.
