Need to compile individual components with proper numbering, etc.

Need to compile individual components with proper numbering, etc.

[David Arnold]

All,

With the structure (posted below for completeness), I will need to  
compile the individual components (small chunks to post online for  
students with modems). I know this is possible, with say texexec  
section1. However, if that is section1.tex of chapter8.tex, then I  
will need the run to produce all of the correct numbering of  
examples, equations, definitions, etc. I am hoping this is possible  
with this structure. Comments?

All,

I have files:

~/IntermediateAlgebraText/book.tex
~/IntermediateAlgebraText/bookenv.tex
~/IntermediateAlgebraText/chapter1/chapter1.tex
...
~/IntermediateAlgebraText/chapter8/chapter8.tex

I also have:

~/IntermediateAlgebraText/chapter1/section1.tex
~/IntermediateAlgebraText/chapter1/section2.tex
~/IntermediateAlgebraText/chapter1/section3.tex

And similar files for each of the eight chapters. Here is my project  
file: ~/IntermediateAlgebraText/book.tex

%output=pdftex

\startproject book

\environment bookenv

\product chapter1/chapter1

\product chapter2/chapter2

\product chapter3/chapter3

\product chapter4/chapter4

\product chapter5/chapter5

\product chapter6/chapter6

\product chapter7/chapter7

\product chapter8/chapter8

\stopproject

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: conTeXt-en
%%% End:

Here, for example, is my ~/IntermediateAlgebraText/chapter1/chapter1.tex

\startproduct chapter1

\project book

\startbodymatter

\chapter[chap:1]{Functions}

\input zapf

\component section1

\component section2

\component section3

\stopbodymatter

\stopproduct

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: conTeXt-en
%%% End:

As an example of a section, consider ~/IntermediateAlgebraText/ 
chapter1/section1.tex

%output=pdf

\startcomponent section1

\project book
\product chapter1

\section[sec:1]{The Function Concept}

\input knuth

\stopcomponent

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: conTeXt-en
%%% End:

This look OK to folks? Will I get in trouble with this plan?

I believe this is not possible, but I want this as well, and so
do a few other people (that I know of). If it *can* be done,
it should be documented. If not, it sohuld be put on someone's
todo list (possibly mine). I've created a collector item.

Hi Taco, David,

You can indeed compile a component which will inherit the settings of 
the project. Unfortunately one runs into troubles with references 
pointing to not included files and of course the numberings will be 
started at one. - Indeed I would welcome a procedure to be able to 
compile a part of a project keeping the original referencing and 
numbering of the complete project. - Sigh I know that I am asking a lot.

Kind regards Willi
