Well, it's by no means perfect at this point. I'm using a system similar to yours. Just make sure you use \input instead of \include in included files (apparently an included file cannot \include another file, but can \input another file).

% test.tex

\include{header}

\include{chapter1}
%\include{chapter2}
%\include{everything}

\end{document}


I still have to fiddle .. but it's better than what I was doing in the beginning!

Ah. Thanks! I guess I'm cheating in that I don't have a 'makefile' (I
simply hit 'typeset' in TeXShop). However, based on your advice, I
figured out how to modify my main file to include either a single
chapter or the entire document. Woo hoo!

If you're willing to share, I'd appreciate seeing the solution to this. I
don't know make, so don't use makefiles, so my usual solution is to create
a preamble.tex file, then the main document is:


\input{preamble}
\include{...}
\end{document}

but that still requires some fiddling to LaTeX just particular chapters; I
end up either having lines in those chapters that are commented out when
running the whole book, or alternatively using shell files (i.e., files
with only one \include{} in them), or sometimes using \includeonly. None
of these is optimal!
