Different issue now, and it's a little strange. I have a bunch of<br>code I'd like to pull out into a different file. I cut and paste the<br>code into "myfile.inc", and put \input{myfile.inc} in my package, and
<br>I get hundreds of errors. Replace the \input line with the original<br>code, and it works fine.<br> According to the documentation, the \input command "causes the<br>indicated file to be read and processed, exactly as if its contents
<br>had been inserted in the current file at that point". Which is<br>clearly not going on. What gives?</blockquote><div><br>That is very strange... I don't think I've ever had that happen even though I use \input{} regularly. First thing that comes to mind is perhaps a bit silly, but what is the encoding of yoru various files? If your main .tex or .ltx file is - say - ISO-8859-1 encoded, and your
myfile.inc is - say UTF-8 encoded, weird things migth start happening... <br></div><br>Yuri.<br></div>
