[muhammad alzaidi]

thank you for your help

it is working now

I have another question I have divided my dissertation into different tex files but I failed to combine them by using

\include{chapter1}

I have tried to replace the previous command with
\input{chapter}

but it does not work
all the chapters files in one folder...??

[torbjorn t.]

We will need more information. Are the chaperX.tex files in the same folder as your master file? If so, there should be no problem with \include{chapterX}. You will need one \include-command for each file, e.g.

Code: Select all

\include{chapter1}
\include{chapter2}

If the files are in a subfolder of the folder where your master file is, you will need to specify this, like \include{./chapters/chapterX.tex}.

I tries to use the first pages of the chapter where I designed a cover and abstract and acknowledgement pages and I tries to use the same code but I fails

by the way I save the files in D and inside I collected all the chapters in one folder titled dissertation files

[torbjorn t.]

As stated above, if the chapterfiles are in a different folder than your master file (the one starting with \documentclass), you have to specify that. Also, I think you should avoid having spaces in the names of folders or files, that is, you should use something like "dissertationfiles" instead of "dissertation files".

Your example works fine for me.

...anyway I am really sorry to bother you....

[torbjorn t.]

Ah, I see where you have misunderstood.

When using \include or \input only one file, the master file, should have a preamble, and \begin/\end{document}. The preamble is where you load packages, define new commands etc. i.e everything from \documentclass{} to \begin{document}.

What happens when you are using \include, is that LaTeX will first add a \clearpage command, and then read the contents from the file.


An example of use:

Say you have a folder structure like this:

Code: Select all

1
F:/Project/chapters
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In the Project folder, you have a file called master.tex, which contains the preamble, and a series of \include in the document environment. For instance:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

1
2
3
4

\documentclass{scrbook}
\begin{document}
\include{./chapters/chapter1}

In the chapters folder, you will have .tex-files called chapter1.tex, chapter2.tex and chapter3.tex, and they will look like this:

Code: Select all

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When compiling, you have to compile the file master.tex, as that is the file with the preamble.


Did that make things any clearer?

Run LaTeX here

the first file is the preambl
but this is also does not work

I think this is quite complicated and I cannot deal with it

[localghost]

Included (chapter) files must not have a preamble. I suggest that you do some basic reading [1]. These things are very important if you plan to work with LaTeX for future projects.
