I'm writing a thesis but not modular style. I simply write everything in one big document and want to change it. But there is a problem.

For sections must not I start with begin{document} again? Otherwise, it can't be compiled, but if I do it, for this time my document will have lots of begin command.

The difference between input and include is how it's included, there is an old discussion on how to use them.

No, you do begin{document} things only once. Then you use include{chapter3} once per chapter. You can basically cut the chapter text from the big document, place it into chapter3.tex and insert the include statement instead in the main document.

Update: Oh, an continuing scrying into your question: you compile the main document, as before. As the start of the compilation regarded, nothing changes for you that multiple included *.tex files are present.

I also recommend latexmk and git for more easy compilation and management of the source, but that's tangential.

You should input your .tex files in this way:

documentclass[options]{theclass}



%preamble



begin{document}

section{section1name}

input{sec1} %the file is sec1.tex 



section{section2name}

input{sec2} %the file is sec2.tex

.

.

.

end{document}

So latex will paste the text where you call input{}

If I am not mistaken, include works quite the same but it starts a new page when you call include{}

That would be the best strategy.

If you want just one file, then write the document in this way:

documentclass[options]{theclass}



    %preamble



    begin{document}

    section{section1name}



    Write your text as 

    I am writing 

    write your text...



    section{section2name}



    Same way 

    .

    .

    .

    end{document}

As you can see, both cases have just one begin-end document.

You should input your .tex files in this way:

documentclass[options]{theclass}



%preamble



begin{document}

section{section1name}

input{sec1} %the file is sec1.tex 



section{section2name}

input{sec2} %the file is sec2.tex

.

.

.

end{document}

So latex will paste the text where you call input{}

If I am not mistaken, include works quite the same but it starts a new page when you call include{}

That would be the best strategy.

---

If you want just one file, then write the document in this way:

documentclass[options]{theclass}



    %preamble



    begin{document}

    section{section1name}



    Write your text as 

    I am writing 

    write your text...



    section{section2name}



    Same way 

    .

    .

    .

    end{document}

As you can see, both cases have just one begin-end document.

If you want to avoid numbered sections use the starred command

section*{}
