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

You might want to keep an extra text or tex file with the common content and load it through \input.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\blindtext\input{common.txt}\blindtext
\end{document}

Or save the content in a macro:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\newcommand{\myText}{This is the text to be quoted.}
\newcommand{\myLongText}{\lipsum[2]}
\begin{document}
hello, \myText 

\myLongText

\blindtext

and later one can quote: \enquote{\myText}

\begin{quote}
\myLongText
\end{quote}
\end{document}
