Instead of one big tex file, I put the chapters into separate tex files for faster compilation. My main tex file now looks like this:
\include{ch-abstract}
\include{ch-acknowledgments}
\include{ch-introduction}
Assume I compiled everything once, then I only changed something in ch-introduction
. Is it possible to compile only ch-introduction
but display all other unchanged files in the PDF?
Note that \includeonly{ch-introduction}
is not a solution, as this only displays the introduction in the PDF.
