Hello everybody,

I am almost sure that this has been discusse on the list some time ago, but I did not find anything right now.

For my Ph.D. dissertation, I am working with a LaTeX document which is split up to many small files, one for each chapter. I am using the TM_LATEX_MASTER variable which is set as a project preference, and which points to the master document.

Now I would like to do the following: In order to print only a single chapter of my dissertation I would like to use another central document which ignores the TM_LATEX_MASTER variable. It should be part of my project, however.

Is it possible to set the TM_LATEX_MASTER to a different value only for this file? TeXShop allows setting the main document by putting something like

%!TEX root = ../main.tex

at the beginning of a document. Does something like this exist in TM as well?

(I know that I could also use the includeonly command, but that does not work too well, since I also would like to change some things in the central document for this specific file.)

Thanks in advance, best regards

Matthias
