I'm a little confused by how LyX understands subfiles. Does it support the concept of a parent document which includes a number of subdocuments?
* The documentation refers to a means of including "external material", although the available types of external material do not appear to include "other LyX files". * The LyX editor allows me to insert a reference to another LyX file, but it then includes all that file's content in the current document and saves it as a single unified document. * The mailing list archives refer to subfile support but the messages relating to this are about four major revisions out of date and mention menu commands that I don't recognize. Can I use LyX to create a number of separate (sub-)documents and then also maintain other LyX documents which combine new material with one or more of these subdocuments, in such a way that the content needs only to be edited once? Cheers Trevor
