Interesting. I have not had a problem with settings in parent/child
documents. When I compile the parent document, its settings trump any
changes in the children. When compiling the child document alone, its
settings are respected... I am currently running 1.6.

Hi all,
In my work I frequently encounter Latex complaints that are due to
different settings for parent and child documents (which I may have
made when working on the child just to experiment). Fixing them can
require a lot of going back and forth between the two documents to
ensure both have identical Document settings esp. if the child
document is a new one which is initialized to default settings.
Would it be possible for future versions of LyX to override child-
document settings with that of the parent when building the DVI/PDF
etc.? The child document settings would be useful when that document
is built-standalone but in the context of the parent they should be
overridden.
In the meantime, if a better overall solution to hierarchical
document management exists, I'd love to be educated.
Thanks in advance,
Manoj
