[texhax] Article like class file for authors and book like class file for a journal issue.

[Shubho Roy]

I think there are two concerns which need to be addressed:
1. Every author should be able to compile their articles to check they are
working correctly.
2. At the level of the journal, the entire journal has to be compiled at
one go to create one complete journal.

The system of including each pdf for creating the journal will severely
cramp method of using latex to create your journal TOC etc.

One possible solution is to have 2 preambles:
1. You give to the author for them to compile and check their own articles.
2. You have with the journal which is used for final compile.

When authors submit the journals to you, the machine can remove the
preamble from their articles and then just use the preamble of the journal,
thereby creating a nice and simple system for a journal.
