General ⇒ quotation

[Frank2013]

Hi,

I have two latex files, A.tex and B.tex in the same folder.

I would like to quote a few sentences from A.tex to B.tex. The main advantage is that when I change A.tex, the corresponding changes will appear in B.tex.

Are there any commands having this function?

Thanks a lot.

Frank
