General ⇒ New file means new page ?

[Scap]

Hi,

I writting a document with Latex and I've sometimes big chapters. So my idea was to create new .tex files for differents section of this chapter...
After compilying the table of content is OK but for each section created in a separated file there is a page break...
Is it possible to correct this or do I have to put all my sections in the same file ?

I guess you are using the \include command to incorporate the contents of every section into the document. This command always introduces a page break. Instead you can use the \input command. However, I think it is convenient to keep using \include while preparing the first versions of the document, since you can select which parts of the document should be typeset by means of the \includeonly command.

Thanks,

Yes indeed I'm using the \include command.
I've tried with the \input one but unfortunately it's the same problem do you know why ?
I've tried too with the \includeonly command in order to test your advice but it has generated an error.. I've written it in the main file, but maybe I have to write it in an other place, do I ? Or maybe including a package..

Without seeing a bit of code it is not possible to guess what the problem is. Try to provide a minimal working example and attach, if needed, the corresponding tex files.

Hello,

I think that the problem come from the document's format (means, article, book, etc.) that I'm using.
It's a specific shape made by my lab, so I can't modify it.
But I'm not sure that is the good reason..
