Split and Merge Documents
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
Under the **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 **Split Document** dialog.
|
|
|
|
The **Split Document by Headings** option will open a dialog that allows you to split the selected
|
|
document into multiple new documents based on the headings it contains. You can select at which
|
|
heading level the split is to be performed from the dropdown box. The list box will preview which
|
|
headings 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 **Trash** folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Merging Documents
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/fig_project_merge_tool.png
|
|
|
|
The **Merge Documents** dialog.
|
|
|
|
You have two options for merging documents that are child elements of another document. You can
|
|
either **Merge Child Items into Self** and **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, only the latter option is possible, so only the choice
|
|
**Merge Documents in Folder** is available.
|
|
|
|
In either case, the **Merge Documents** dialog will let you exclude documents you don't want to
|
|
include, and it also lets you reorder them if you wish.
