They're not numbered. Referencing doesn't have the problems the article complains about. Also, you can go between these extremes and have a handful of medium-sized files.
- nickjj 8y agoThe numbers are very important because the reference has to happen outside of the editing tool / structure. I need to be able to identify that lesson 'xyz' is lesson 50 so I can say to check out the code in folder 50 inside of a git repo.
- daveFNbuck 8y agoWhen you compile the document, the numbering is automatically added just like it would be if you had a single large document. The importing gives you the same final result as having a single file, but gives you the flexibility to put individual lessons in separate files for easier editing and reuse in other course plans. This also makes it easier to do things like print out individual lessons if you need a hard copy but don't want the entire document.
