General ⇒ Use of \includeonly for multiple input

[AstridH]

Hi there,
I have a rather trivial problem. I would like to only compile two of my thesis chapters and I'm using \includeonly. It works fine for only one chapter, but when I'm adding the second chapter to the command line it simply gets ignored and not included. I guess I'm missing something...a space, comma, something random...

This is my command line:

Code: Select all

\includeonly{2_current_flow/current_flow,Appendix/Appendix}

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!!

Many thanks,
Astrid

Hi Astrid,

Command looks fine to me, just two things:

• Don't forget to add \include in the document body
• Be careful with underscores in filenames. You might have to specify an encoding.

The following code works for me, assuming the folder "subfolder" exists.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{filecontents}{subfolder/chapter_1}\chapter{First}\blindtext\end{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{subfolder/chapter_2}\chapter{Second}\blindtext\end{filecontents}

\includeonly{subfolder/chapter_1,subfolder/chapter_2}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\include{subfolder/chapter_1}
\include{subfolder/chapter_2}
\include{subfolder/chapter_3}
\include{subfolder/chapter_4}
\end{document}

Hi Tom,

thanks for the tip - I double checked my list of \include{chapter} and noted that I had commented the \include{Appendix/Appendix}, hence it didn't appear. Really silly mistake and I doubt I would have seen it without you pointing into the right direction! So, thank you very much for the hint !

Cheers,
Astrid
