Problems with use of \include and \input

相关文章推荐

Hello everybody,
Like everywones first time on the forum i need to post that i am very new to latex. I like the concept and would like to keep on working with it though i have some problems while using the


    
     \include

and


    
     \input

commands.
Let me elaborate: i am writing a masters thesis wchich in the end will contain around 100 pages that's why i want to divide my mainmatter according to sections and subsections with the


    
     \include

and


    
     \input

command.
My code :

Code: Select all

\include{introduction}
\include{LiteratuurSoil}
\input{LiteratuurTillage}
\input{LiteratuurForces}

My problem :
the command


    
     \include

will start that file on a new page (like it should according to all help files). Though when i use


    
     \input

it also start on a new page. anybody got an idea?
Thanks in advance

Do LiteratuurTillage.tex and LiteratuurForces.tex start with new chapters or with a \newpage or \clearpage command? Note that chapters always start on a new page.
Secondly, for large documents I suggest to use \include commands only. I've written something on that, which you can find here .

Thanks for the reply!
Though it is not what i am looking for. I need those parts to be one chapter.
I actually need the oppostie: inputting separte .tex files without clearing the page.
A solution would be to write everything in the same file which i will include to my mainmatter later on. Due to length of each file this would get a bit crazy.

\input does not clear the page. If you notice a page break with \input, it's caused by the file content.
