Summary

The techniques we learned in this chapter will help us to develop and maintain bigger projects. Though enthusiastic users prefer LaTeX to write small documents, many people learn LaTeX because they plan to write longer texts such as a thesis. However, splitting documents and the use of templates are useful for small pieces of writing as well, such as for letters—just think of the header, footer, and address fields.

In this chapter, we created and managed large documents consisting of several files, including front and back matter and a separate title page.

Now that we can develop and handle large documents, we will see how to improve them further in the next chapter.
