inheriting parent settings
I've a master document with a few child documents. I find myself having to
change the settings of each child for every module, citation style, etc. This is
very error prone. Is there any way to make the child documents, which have the
master document explicitly specified, inherit settings from the master/parent?
Here are the settings I'd like to propagate:
the document class
the citation style
\usepackage{apacite}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\ref}[1]{\mbox{\autoref{#1
the paper format
the two-sided document setting
Re: inheriting parent settings
Jack,
as far as I know the master file's preamble overrides the child's
preamble, and therefore all the settings in the preamble are
inherited from the parent. So, these for sure:
\usepackage{apacite}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\ref}[1]{\mbox{\autoref{#1
and possibly these as well, if passed as options to the class
the paper format
the two-sided document setting
Cheers,
Stefano

Yes, this is correct, and we are aware of how error-prone, etc, this is.
I hope to resolve the issue during the 2.1 cycle.

For the time being, you can outsource the preamble to an external file and \input that in the master's and each child's preamble. Jürgen

Hi Jack,
I had this problem for a while ,-(
Then I took a brute force approach:
I wrote a bash script which replaces the childs preamble by the masters
preamble (thanks to lyx' file format this is not a big deal ;-)
(I had the intention to port that bash-script to python but didn't have
the time ATM.)
For me that works very well.
The bash script is a dirty hack. If you are intereseted ask me personally.
