I have several different .tex files that I wish to include in a source file. This works correctly using the \include command.

However what this means is that in the output PDF, each component file starts on a new page and ends with a \clearpage. So there are huge blank gaps between my different bits of text.

How can I combine my component files without any pagebreaks between them? I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to override the pagebreak command, or any ideas on alternatives to using \include.

Thank you!

Hello,

you can use the command input. This command put the code without formatting into the source file.

As an addition to the remarks of Marco you should know that the \include command internally is a sequence of commands.

Code: Select all

\clearpage \input{filename} \clearpage

This explains the page breaks you described.

Best regards
