#15 Multi-file project
It is common in big latex documents (such as books) to split sources in multiple files (one chapter per file). It would be very useful to have some sort of multi-files latex source support. For example add a "master file option" in the geany project and compile all latex files opened within the project context through master file specified.
Hi,
I was thinking about adding something lie this in past. I was preferring the Emacs style of doing this with % parameters at end of input files. I've stopped thinking about as this is might something needs to be done by core's build system or if to follow up on project thought might inside the geanyprj project. What's the best way - I cannot say at the moment. But I'm open to ideas - just please be so kind and leave your thought how this could look like here.
the %call master.fie syntax at and of each file is not a bad idea a too. I suppose you can create a simple utility to parse the file and look for such entry and than call pdflatex (or rubber :P) accordigly.
I'm afraid this will be most likely something for Geany's build system - at least to offer a way how to access and overwrite the command from plugin side.
