<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi, </p> <p>I'm currently writing up my PhD thesis using org-mode, and it is a joy in comparison to my past experiences writing raw LaTeX. </p> <p>I'm simultaneously attempting to write up some of the thesis chapters in paper form for publication, and have been creating the papers by selectively #+INCLUDE -ing the thesis chapter .org files. I very much dislike the idea of maintaining the same text in multiple files (fix a typo or re-word something in one, will I remember to propagate those changes throughout?), however the text required for the papers needs to be somewhat more concise than what appears in the thesis. So far I have handled this by having org files containing the core text for a section, which appears in both the thesis and the paper, and another org file that expands on the core and appears in the thesis only. </p> <p>This approach works well enough, but falls down when I want to interleave concise text and extended text. I could use the line number option for the include command to achieve this, however the text is changing too often for this to be practical. The natural conclusion seems to be to break things down even further, and to have separate org files per paragraph of text, and to construct larger documents out of these. </p> <p>Does anyone here have any experience of something like this (maybe there are packages which could help?), or perhaps better ideas (i.e. am I being a lunatic)?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/ForsakenMachinery"> /u/ForsakenMachinery </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/rg5fhk/text_snippets_for_use_in_multiple_documents/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/rg5fhk/text_snippets_for_use_in_multiple_documents/">[comments]</a></span> |
