I have a related question:
I am working on a book that will eventually have to be typeset in
various formats (i.e., double-spaced for reviewers, with publishers
specs, etc). I work on the single chapters individually and I need to
typeset them as such in my own, proof-like kind of format. My strategy
so far has been to have different master documents (which only contain
include statements) with different preambles corresponding to the
different book formats, and yet a different preamble for the single
chapters.
Here is the question: will the preambles of the individual chapters be
completely ignored once they are included in the master document, or is
it advisable to erase the child preambles when typesetting the master
document (as Georg seems to hint)? Since the latter option is obviously
quite cumbersome, this gives rise to a further question: is my strategy
completely silly and if so are there better ways to solve with this
problem?
Thanks for the help,
Stefano
