-<h3>What&#8217;s going on in my <code>\</code><code>include</code> commands?</h3>
-<p/>The original LaTeX provided the <code>\</code><code>include</code> command to address the
-problem of long documents: with the relatively slow computers of the
-time, the companion <code>\</code><code>includeonly</code> facility was a boon. 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 &#8216;checkpoint&#8217; 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&#8217;s more, this
-mechanism doesn&#8217;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&#8217;t like it, replace the
- <code>\</code><code>include</code> command with <code>\</code><code>input</code> &#8212; you won&#8217;t be able to use
- <code>\</code><code>includeonly</code> any more, but you probably don&#8217;t need it anyway, so
- don&#8217;t worry.
-<p/><li> Why can&#8217;t I nest <code>\</code><code>include</code>d files? &#8212; I always used to be
- able to under LaTeX 2.09.
-<p/> Answer: in fact, you couldn&#8217;t, even under LaTeX 2.09, but the failure
- wasn&#8217;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>
