Splitting and Merging Documents
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Under the :guilabel:`Transform` submenu in the context menu of an item in the project tree, you
|
||||
will find several options on how to change a document or folder. This includes changing between
|
||||
document and note, but also splitting them into multiple documents, or merging child items into a
|
||||
single document.
|
||||
|
||||
Splitting Documents
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: images/fig_project_split_tool.png
|
||||
|
||||
The :guilabel:`Split Document` dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
The :guilabel:`Split Document by Header` option will open a dialog that allows you to split the
|
||||
selected document into multiple new documents based on the headers it contains. You can select at
|
||||
which header level the split is to be performed from the dropdown box. The list box will preview
|
||||
which headers will be split into new documents.
|
||||
|
||||
You are given the option to create a folder for these new documents, and whether or not to create a
|
||||
hierarchy of documents. That is, put sections under scenes, and scenes under chapters.
|
||||
|
||||
The source document **is not** deleted in the process, but you have the option to let the tool move
|
||||
the source document to the :guilabel:`Trash` folder.
|
||||
|
||||
Merging Documents
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: images/fig_project_merge_tool.png
|
||||
|
||||
The :guilabel:`Merge Documents` dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
You have two options for merging documents that are child elements of another document. You can
|
||||
either :guilabel:`Merge Child Items into Self` and :guilabel:`Merge Child Items into New`. The
|
||||
first option will pull all content of child items and merge them into the parent document, while
|
||||
the second option will create a new document in the process.
|
||||
|
||||
When merging documents in a folder, you only have the latter process is possible, so only the
|
||||
choice :guilabel:`Merge Documents in Folder` is available.
|
||||
|
||||
In either case, the :guilabel:`Merge Documents` dialog will let you exclude documents you don't
|
||||
want to include, and it also lets you reorder them if you wish.
