Typesetting products and components

Typesetting products and components

[Randall Skelton]

Is it possible to determine if texexec is being run on a product or a
component and have optional processing similar to different modes?

I have a large project comprising quarterly reports and technical
notes.  Essentially, I have the following structure:

project = MyProject
  |- product = Reports
     |- component1 = year2005, chapters 1-n
     |- component1 = year2006, chapters 1-n
     ...
  |- product = TechNotes
     |- component1 = note1, sections 1-n
     |- component1 = note2, sections 1-n
     ...
  ...

I would like to be able to typeset a component differently depending
on whether it is passed directly to texexec or whether I am processing
the complete product.  For instance, in each technical note, I would
like a title page, table of contents, list of abreviations, and list
of references generated if I typeset the component separately. 
Conversely, when processing the product TechNotes I want a master
table of contents, list of abbreviations and list of references
generated for the set of components.  Is it appropriate to want to do
this or have I misunderstood the role of projects, products and
components entirely.

Cheers,
Randall

\ifx\currentproduct\empty
no product defined
\else
the product is \currentproduct
\fi

as long as you understand the logic behind your choices it;s ok

I'll add a system mode: (put this in cont-new.tex)

ah, that's indeed an option,

\doifelsenothing\currentproduct
   {no product defined}
   {the product is \currentproduct}

is a bit more robust (esp if currentproduct is something {bla\macro bla}

in that case, a quite readable approach is:

\startsetups todo:product:nop

   ....

\stopsetups

\startsetups todo:product:yes

   ....

\stopsetups

\doifelsenothing\currentproduct
   {\setups[todo:product:nop]}
   {\setups[todo:product:yes]}

or as variant on your ifx, a one-liner:

\setups[todo:product:\ifx\currentproduct\empty nop\else yes\fi]
