Modular projects: Compile parent and child documents using separate custom classes
I would like to compile a main.tex parent document using a custom class as well as child documents using different custom classes. I would like compilation of the parent document to automatically compile and correctly insert the child documents in place. How can I accomplish this without simply inserting a separate PDF file with pdfpages? The standalone and subfiles packages appear to nearly work, but custom classes must also be defined for the child documents.
Parent document:
documentclass{acustomclass}
begin{document}
childdocument
end{document}
Child document:
documentclass{anothercustomclass}
begin{document}
Hooray!
end{document}
pdfpages standalone import subfiles

What does "appear to nearly work" mean? Can you describe the intended output and post some code of what you've already tried (minimal working example (MWE)) and describe, where it falls short, e.g. what should happen with the page numbers, etc.

It's a rather generic question in that I simply would like to include a child document that uses a customdocumentclassin a main document.

Thecombineclass may be of some help. Read the manual (> texdoc combine).

@AdamErickson I fear then, that your question (without problem description and expected output) is simply too generic

In addition to Peter's comment: There are several packages that could probably do what you want. Here is a list on CTAN: ctan.org/topic/subdocs
