The file name can include a full path. </p> <p> This takes input from the named file until it ends, when input reverts to the previous input. There is currently a limit of 20 on the depth of included files and macros. </p> <p> A suggested use of <span class="emphasis"><em>#include</em></span> would be to define a set of macros which are part of the composer's style.
