Hello
The subfiles package is a different approach (besides the classical one with
include/input and the standalone package) to have a master file and
different subfiles, which however can be compiled completely
independently from the master file. The master file looks like
,----
| \documentclass[12pt]{article}
| \usepackage{subfiles}
|
| \begin{document}
|
| \subfile{section-0001.tex}
| \subfile{section-0002.tex}
| \end{document}
`----
while say section-0001.tex
,----
|
| \documentclass[main.tex]{subfiles}
| \begin{document}
| blbla
| \end{document}
|
| %%% Local Variables:
| %%% mode: latex
| %%% TeX-master: t
| %%% End:
`----
Important: all \usepackage commands have to be in main.tex!!
Now one can run LaTeX (even without auctex) run on all 3 files, main,
section-0001.tex and section-0002.tex.
As far as auctex is concerned there is the following conflict of
interests.
%%% TeX-master: t:
in section--001.tex
Rationale:
Otherwise running latex in section-001.tex will run main.tex and
therefore the whole bease.
%%% TeX-master: "main"
in section--001.tex
Rationale:
If one wants to check references, using
reftex, between section-001 and section-0002 or if auctex should scan
the header for additional usepackages in main.tex
Which however leads to the undesired behaviour as mentioned above.
So the proposal is:
Could the line
\documentclass[main.tex]{subfiles}
Be used in that context instead of
%%% TeX-master: "main"
Or would that have the same effect?
