- nailer 13y agoThat sounds like a workaround.
- timtadh 13y agoActually, it is a pretty useful feature. I break my documents up into multiple files and can compile pieces of them together for different audiences. Want an executive summary of my research just build the abstract + a summary. Want to review the literature with my advisor, build the just the literature review. However, I will agree that using it to address slowness of a build process is just a hack.
- nimish 13y agoIt is, but you have to remember latex is best thought of a programming language that outputs pdfs so splitting into multiple source files is useful, as is source control.
- scintill76 13y agoI suppose you would say splitting your C++ into separate source files is a "workaround" for slow compilation times, too? It could be, but both are probably good practice anyway.
