[O] Large LaTeX project in single file or using publishing

[Jacob Gerlach]

Hello list,

I'm starting writing my thesis, for which I hope to remain in org-mode rather than regular LaTeX.

I am working on adapting a thesis LaTeX template into org-mode. The template is set up with a main.tex having several individual files (chapters, appendices, etc) \include'd.

I believe that I could parallel this using org's publishing mechanism. An alternate approach would be to use one single file, since I can simply fold chapters to focus my workflow.

My first concern is losing the ability to use internal links if I use separate files. Another thought is compilation time if I use one file and must always run pdflatex over the entire document. I'm sure there are pitfalls either way that I'm not yet aware of.

Any input or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jake
