Dear LyX-developers,
first off: thanks for a great piece of software. I have one
suggestion: the combine class is very handy for having several
documents in one, which is especially useful for collections of
articles. The class can be found on CTAN:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/combine/
Getting this class into LyX myself is way beyond my abilities, so
maybe there's a chance of officially including it?
This is an interesting idea, but not one I have time to implement right
now. There is some work that would need to be done, mostly, to implement
the \import command, as a variant of our existing include command. The
reason this is not trivial is that we'd need to convince LyX actually to
generate the *full* LaTeX for an \import'ed document, with preamble,
etc, rather than just the LaTeX for an \include'd document. This is so
the titlepage would be generated as normal, etc.
I'm not sure what other class options we might want to support and what
to leave for inclusion in the manual preamble.
I'd suggest that you add an enhancement request to trac, and perhaps
include the text of this email, as a pointer to what needs doing.
