How to redefine \section temporaly?

How to redefine \section temporaly?

[Romain Diss]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1012 bytes --]

Hi all,

I wrote some articles with context and they contain (of course) sections. Now 
I have to include all these articles in a book but each article should become 
a section of the book. So I wonder if there is a way to convert the \section 
command of the article files into \subsection in the book.

Minimal not working (but supposed to explain my problem) example:

%%% article.tex
\startsection[title=A first point]
... \stopsection
\startsection[title=A second point]
... \stopsection

%%% book.tex
% command to make the \section of the input articles become \subsection
% commands 
\startsection[title=My first article]
  \input article
\stopsection

%%% end


I know I can change the \section commands of the article.tex into 
\ArticleSection and switch with
\definehead[ArticleSection][section]
\definehead[ArticleSection][subsection]
depending of the context, but it would be better (for me) to not modify the 
article.tex files.

Any ideas?

Thank in advance.

you can use \startwhatever when you do:

\definehead[whatever][section]

or

\definehead[whatever][subsection]

or alternatively look into levels-001.tex and levels-002.tex in the test 
suite to see how to use relative sectioning

If faced with this problem I would import the tex file into gvim and do
a mass change with one statement like:

:% s/\\section/\\subsection/

Then I would save the tex file under a different name.

If there are already subsections I would convert them to subsubsections
first, then convert the sections to subsections. Eqch step is just a
singl command in gvim.

Thank you. I thought these commands were existing but I didn't remember the 
name.

You're right. I also use vim and this is a quick and working solution (and 
even faster with :bufdo %s/\\section/\\subsection/). However the idea was to 
keep the section/subsection/subsub.. order in the article individual files and 
not modify them. In fact I was looking to the most 'contexty' solution.
