Dear Sister Maria, As Elie said, think of the structure, the table of contents.
I’m sharing you my project of missal for the ordinary form in the of Dom
Lefebvre’s ones.
In this file, you will see the command \input{another_file} : it helps to
create the table of contents … with no content !
Using this method helps to work :
- with small files
- in a team, each one is responsible for only one part of the book, so many
parts can be done at the same time
About the layout, it will be automatically applied to each part as it will be
defined in parent document. I think Elie’s advice about asking someone if
needed is a very good advice.
Unanimes in oratione,
Boris Maire
