Thank you all -
In fact I'm trying to find the best possible way to "atomize" (or
modularize...or granularize..I don't know which term suits best) our
information, to avoid redundancy and be able to reuse redundant content easily
between books. This was an option in my mind (create files including atomic
information, then assemble them as needed in books). But as pointed out by
Richard and others, better use text insets instead.
Cheers and thank you again !
Mathieu.
