General ⇒ Master file and #ifdef

[pohorc]

Hello!

I'm preparing latex project containing few content tex files and a master file.

I'm looking for the solution how to compile, build project from the master file or from the content file itself...
From the master file i have, for example:

Code: Select all

    main.tex
    abstract.tex
    Ch1.tex
    Ch2.tex

with

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
\input{abstract.tex}
\input{Ch1.tex}
\input{Ch2.tex}
\end{document}

And now, in the content file (Chx.tex) I would need something like that:

Code: Select all

#ifndef MASTER_FILE
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
#endif
....
....
...
#ifndef MASTER_FILE
\end{document}
#else
\endinput
#endif

I already excluded \ifthenelse and \iftoggle, because they are not suitable for the job...

Any ideas how to achieve that?
