HI everyone,

I am looking for a way to compile a single file in a multi-file LaTeX project 
without adding a standalone preamble to the subfiles. The goal is to compile 
the subfile while still using the preamble and settings defined in the main 
document.

I am working on a large document (=main.tex=) that is comprised of different 
sections (=chapter1.tex=, =chapter2.tex=, etc).  Currently, I am using 
=\include= command in =main.tex= to compile the full document, and this works 
well.

However, I also want the flexibility to compile individual files (e.g., 
=chapter1.tex=) separately, so I can send them out for review and feedback. 
Ideally, this should use the preamble and settings from =main.tex= without 
requiring me to manually copy or add a preamble to the subfiles.

Is there a recommended workflow in AUCTeX for such cases? Specifically:

1. How can I set up AUCTeX to compile subfiles individually, leveraging the 
main file’s preamble?
2. Is TeX-region the best approach for this? If so, how should I configure it 
for this use case?

I’d appreciate any suggestions, configurations, or workflows you’ve found 
effective for this scenario.

Thanks,
Kourosh
