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
