General ⇒ import only option?

[theo moore]

If you use \include, you can use the \includeonly{files} command to only generate a document with certain files. This is handy if you have a large document and don't want to comment out the \include commands (and suffer a large number of unlinked references)

However, I use \import. For example

Code: Select all

\import{./chap1/}{chapter1}
\import{./chap2/}{chapter2}
\import{./chap3/}{chapter3}
\import{./chap4/}{chapter4}

Is there a similar option? My document is large, and it takes a while to go from dvi to pdf format.

You have to give a brief description of this command and tell us where it comes from because it is not from standard LaTeX. In case it is from a non-standard document class not available on CTAN, attach the class file to your next post or give a link where to get it.

Ack. I hadn't realised that I was using the import package.

The details are here and here.

In any case, I did find the answer. Basically, instead of using

Code: Select all

\input{filepath}{filename}

You can use

Code: Select all

\includefrom{filepath}{filename}

at which point the extra,

Code: Select all

\includeonly{file1, file2, ...}

inserted into the preface of your document works!
