Howdy, all;

I've been tasked with putting together a compilation of a number of
different articles into book form.  Each article is contributed by a
different author, and needs to be credited as such.  Each article
compiles individually, and I am able to successfully bring in each
article as a section or chapter in the master document using
\include{file-name}, using only the body of the text in the
include-files.

However, as far as I can tell, the 'author' field is particular to the
master document's preamble.

Which package should I use -- or is there a simple command I'm
overlooking -- that will bring in each article in such a way as they
appear as 'articles' within the context of the compilation book?

After a week of searching the archives, I can find many references to
\include -ing chapters or sections in a book by one or two authors.

I need, instead, a way to treat the editor as the 'name on the cover',
with individual authors credited in the articles, with the articles and
authors listed in the contents.

Help is appreciated, and thanks offered in advance.

Scott;

Thanks -- that's exactly what I had overlooked.

The package documentation looks a bit intimidating -- I seem to have my
work cut out for me.

Thanks, agian.
