more thoughts on including documents
I'm partially thinking out loud here, so bear with me as I say stupid things :) As I'm understanding them right now, all forms of include and insert actually make the other document part of the current document. What would be really useful in many circumstances (such as what I'm working in right now) would be the ability to include the output of the other file, rather than it's contents. For example, I want Appenix C to be the syllabus for my class. To make the final document, I'm going to have to break apart my document into the main body and the separator pages for the appendices, making a postscript file for each (with gv save as, I suppose). and then use psmerge to put syllabii and such into the single output file. It would be useful to have something like an include that would cause the processing of the document to stop, the output of the included document inserted, and then processing of the original document again. But as I think this over, this would stil have the tex problem of having multiple titles and the like. OK, so maybe this is really a tex problem, and not a lyx one; I'm not sure. But it would be such a useful thing to be possible, that I thought I'd toss it out. hawk -- Richard E. Hawkins, Asst.
