  1. Thanks for sharing your experience.

    Is it possible to explain in another topic how to generate the meta files in a subfolder?

    They are so annoying and disturbing

    My thesis contained a lot of tikz pictures (over 100, if I remember correctly). In this case, the tikz-externalize functionality can come in handy. As far as I know, there are still some bugs, but it saved me a lot of time (10 sec pdf creation vs. 3 minutes 😉

    Hello.
    When you include or input external files do you need to define the document class and use \usepackage in the external file or just in the main one?

      Just in the main file. Just think of it as if you cut a part of your long document and saved it to another file. There is no extra syntax needed.

      Hope this helps,
      Tom
