Latex structure preamble [closed]
What is the best way to separately store a config file with all the packages, commands etc. that come before the begin{document}. I think this is called a preamble.
Currently I have a main.tex file with lots of separate include{sections} within my main body. However I would also like to have a separate Tex file with the preamble contents to make my main.tex file look a bit more concise.

You can save all the code from the preamble in a separate .tex file and call it withinclude.

If you need a common set of packages and user defined macros all over again for most of your documents, it's really better to make a separate input file for that, either as own package or inclusion withinput.
