% Please understand the difference between \include and \input
% ---------------------------
% \include is good for chapters and it CACHES the intermediate generated content
% so it speeds up compiling large projects like a thesis
% *** You CANNOT nest \include, so just use it for chapters. ***
% \input literally is the same as copy past, it just dumps the content
% it is useful for reducing clutter, like a title page below
% or large tables and figures.
% *** You CAN nest \input, and use it inside chapters. ***
% ---------------------------
% The following command lets you only compile / work on a specific chapter
% you can give any \include command argument, and even multiple ones
% Don't compile everything every time, especially when writing
