Possible Duplicate:
Page break with \include

I have got my LaTeX documents split in to several files, but when I input them in to my main document it starts the content on a new page. How can I stop this from happening? Here is what's going on:
outputFromLatex

In my separate files I start each with:

\subsubsection{Sub-Sub-Section Title}

And in my main document i'm inputting the files by saying: 

\include{resonantCircuits}

Is there anyway I can get it to continue on the same page instead of having this page break?

    The title says \input, but the question body says \include?

  • Sorry I was originally using \input then tried \include and I had just copied and pasted from my document. I have changed it now.

    And it typesets correctly. This question is redundant now.

    On an un-related note, a lot of folks put Table captions above the table, and avoid vertical lines. Have a look at the booktabs documentation for more details

    I have changed the question so that it states \include instead of \input. Otherwise it won't make any sense. I did this because future visitors to this question (with a similar problem) won't understand it otherwise.

Use \input instead of \include.

    Is there an equivalent of \includeonly for \input?

  • I just switched from \input to \include in order to be able to remove all figures from a manuscript before compiling it via Pandoc to create a .docx without images in the text. Now some images appear like [!p] despite other options are set and it was not this way with \include. However, I'd like the functionality of excluding them in the preamble...

If you really want this, you can try with:

\makeatletter
\def\@include#1 {%
%  \clearpage % This was removed from latex.ltx definition
  \if@filesw
    \immediate\write\@mainaux{\string\@input{#1.aux}}%
  \fi
  \@tempswatrue
  \if@partsw
    \@tempswafalse
    \edef\reserved@b{#1}%
    \@for\reserved@a:=\@partlist\do
      {\ifx\reserved@a\reserved@b\@tempswatrue\fi}%
  \fi
  \if@tempswa
    \let\@auxout\@partaux
    \if@filesw
      \immediate\openout\@partaux #1.aux
      \immediate\write\@partaux{\relax}%
    \fi
    \@input@{#1.tex}%
    \clearpage
    \@writeckpt{#1}%
    \if@filesw
      \immediate\closeout\@partaux
    \fi
  \else
    \deadcycles\z@
    \@nameuse{cp@#1}%
  \fi
  \let\@auxout\@mainaux}
\makeatother

However, this will cause problems because the page numbers will probably be wrong when \includeonly-ing some parts of the document.

I wouldn't do that, and stick to \input.

  • It is so ugly that it works 10 years later, copied from /usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/base/latex.ltx. Thank you @jean-christophe-dubacq!
