Compile only certain Pages

MohamedAmin · Post by **MohamedAmin** » Mon Dec 10, 2012 9:04 am

I want to compile only certain pages - not all - from my LyX file. I'm using Windows with LyX 2.0 and MiKTeX 2.9.

Any idea on this?

Hi MahamedAdmin, welcome to the forum!

There was a question on exactly this within the last two months. I don't have the link handy. Can you find it and link to it in your next post?

If you can't find it, please be specific about what your end goal is. My one word answer would be no, but it depends: is it that you don't care about the compiling time and you just want, say, page 7 of the output? Or are you trying to get a quick preview and just want to cut down on compiling time?

Lookup the details on \input{file} and \includefile{file}. Somewhere around page 206 of 'Guide to Latex'. This is what I use for pretty much the same problem. Luck!
