I'm writing a thesis Is there a way to designate a parent LyX file that #includes chapters... so that I can speed up the LaTeX compilation process by commenting out chapters other than the one I am editing? thanks in advance. cheers, Ed Sykes

Re: Thesis -- parent and child chapters
You don't need to customize LyX for this. Simply write each chapter in a separate LyX file (which you can compile and view separately without the need to comment out anything,) and create a master thesis file where you include each chapter with Insert - File - Child Document (selecting Include as the Include type.) Make sure that all your chapters have the same document class as the main file. Put the TOC and bibliography in the main file as well and you'll be able to cite it from all chapters.

You don't need to customize LyX for this. Simply write each chapter in a separate LyX file (which you can compile and view separately without the need to comment out anything,) and create a master thesis file where you include each chapter with Insert -> File -> Child Document (selecting "Include" as the Include type.) Make sure that all your chapters have the same document class as the main file. Put the TOC and bibliography in the main file as well and you'll be able to cite it from all chapters.
