Even if the master setting is not set in the child, LyX still display all macros perfectly if the master document is open. My complaint is this: if LyX is able to interpret things and display them in the editor, it should be able to generate the output. That's all. Specially if this problem is not present in older versions.

The whole document is generated and the pages are ommited or it handle the pages in a more fashioned way? I am asking this because, if LyX handles it in a good way, we can change the action of the view button of child docs to automatically generate the master document including only the active document. This appears suitable for me and is better than blocking. > Actually, *you* generate the error -- a reference to a label that does > not exist in the document.

It doesn't really matter if I am responsible for them or not: computers are here to handle problems we don't want to deal with, right? They are not here to introduce another class of problems (although I agree this is not always true :-) . > I am not sure about this.

However, if LyX consistency were assured, there's no need for it (expect when using ERT). --- Diego Queiroz
