With the -vast increase in computer speed, <code>\</code><code>includeonly</code> is less valuable -(though it still has its place in some very large projects). -Nevertheless, the facility is retained in current LaTeX, and causes -some confusion to those who misunderstand it. -<p/>In order for <code>\</code><code>includeonly</code> to work, <code>\</code><code>include</code> makes a separate -<code>.aux</code> file for each included file, and makes a ‘checkpoint’ of -important parameters (such as page, figure, table and footnote -numbers); as a direct result, it <em>must</em> clear the current page -both before and after the <code>\</code><code>include</code> command. What’s more, this -mechanism doesn’t work if a <code>\</code><code>include</code> command appears in a file -that was <code>\</code><code>include</code>d itself: LaTeX diagnoses this as an error. -<p/>So, we can now answer the two commonest questions about <code>\</code><code>include</code>: -<ul> -<li> Why does LaTeX throw a page before and after <code>\</code><code>include</code> - commands? -<p/> Answer: because it has to. If you don’t like it, replace the - <code>\</code><code>include</code> command with <code>\</code><code>input</code> — you won’t be able to use - <code>\</code><code>includeonly</code> any more, but you probably don’t need it anyway, so - don’t worry. -<p/><li> Why can’t I nest <code>\</code><code>include</code>d files? — I always used to be - able to under LaTeX 2.09. -<p/> Answer: in fact, you couldn’t, even under LaTeX 2.09, but the failure - wasn’t diagnosed. However, since you were happy with the behaviour - under LaTeX 2.09, replace the <code>\</code><code>include</code> commands with <code>\</code><code>input</code> - commands (with <code>\</code><code>clearpage</code> as appropriate). -</ul> -<p/><p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=include">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=include</a> -</body> |
