Just out of curiosity: Is there a way to compile latex document with two document classes at once?
Suppose that I have a paper which start with line:
\documentclass[preprint,authoryear,12pt]{elsarticle}
But finally I would like to compile it with such line:
\documentclass[final,5p,times,twocolumn]{elsarticle}
Obviously I can replace these lines and compile file twice, but I wonder if there is any trick to avoid double compilation?
The easiest way is probably to create two dummy documents final.tex and draft.tex.
preprint.tex
\documentclass[preprint,authoryear,12pt]{elsarticle}
\input{main.tex}
final.tex
\documentclass[final,5p,times,twocolumn]{elsarticle}
\input{myfile.tex}
If you are using an IDE to compile make compiling the documents easier, there may be additional hoops to jump through (e.g., Kile: how to use shortcut to compile the root file directly?).
