Howdy,

First, is the path to the file correct? I.e., is content really directly in your HOME folder or a sub-folder of the folder with the root file; do you mean . rather than ~?

How are you reading that second file into your root file; e.g.

\include{~/content/1-Theory}

or

\input{~/content/1-Theory}

since I get an error if I have ~ there.

Also, TeXShop 4.67 seems to open the second file in a tab fine if I use the ~ notation in the TeXShop directive seems to work fine in my testing (although, as I said, if I use that notation in \include or \input I get an error and it won't compile.

Good Luck,
