[TxMt] smart Latex typesetting

[Peder Axensten]

I also like to divide large projects and use a pretty short main  
document that creates the environment but then mainly consists of a  
list of includes. While I work on one part I have the other includes  
commented out. In any text editor it's easy to comment a selection at  
once.

This way I always use the same environment (with pdfsync etc.) but I  
shorten compile times while working on just one part.

But this might not fit your way of working, of course.

Regards,
