Hello,
In the production of (scientific) articles for journal submissions,
one is often expected to supply the figures as separate files.
One workflow can be through the use of \startTEXpage\stopTEXpage
followed by an external extraction of single pdf pages to separate
files.
However, is it possible or would it be possible to directly output to a
named file, as in:
\startTEXpage{figure1.pdf}
\stopTEXpage
or perhaps
\startTEXpage [file=figure1.pdf]
\stopTEXpage
? (I could not find an answer looking at the source.)
One could then (optionally) reinclude the figure in a review copy of
the full text through the use of \externalfigure [figure1]
Alan

It might be easier to place the figure code in a separate file, with some conditional code: * if the figure file is being compiled directly, execute a \startTEXpage ... \stopTEXpage at start and end * if the figure file is not the compilation target, i.e. it is being \input, skip the \startTEXpage and just include the figure code. The MWE below *ought* to work, but it doesn't, and I can't get it debugged. Perhaps \doifinputfileelse and \input don't play well together? Assistance welcome!

There is no need for such a feature because you can process individual component files without problem, you have to add only a reference to the project or environment at the begin of each component.

Yes, that will give me the individual component files, but not with the page numbers etc that they would have when they are compiled as part of the product. What I am interested in is the extraction of component files during the compilation of a larger product file—in effect, I am trying to see a way to generate offprints without having to dismantle a PDF file (the product) manually. I suspect now that this is actually a new thread and apologize.

This is good to have for many purposes. But, for the task of generating PDFs of components that are part of a larger product, the problem of cross-references is but one of several issues—especially if one wants ConTeXt to do most (if not all) of the work.
