To whom it may concern,
I have a large document with several distinct pieces. Each piece has
different layout requirements. I can setup the layout before each
piece, but I would prefer to separate the layout from content.
Currently what is the best way to do this?
I have tried defining section blocks and then specifying the layout
for the section blocks between \startsectionblockenvironment
[mySectionBlock] and \stopsectionblockenvironment commands. I have
also tried the project, product, component, environment structure
from the manuals. I have not had success with either method.
I would be very interested to know the approach taken by more
experienced users.
Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Andrew Crouse

Hi Andrew,
Humble, what I do is using the project structure and load layout files
at the moment I need the new layout-features. - Indeed I separate the
layout, the setups from the content.
Loading such files can best be done with \environment respectivefile.
Kind regards
Willi

I guess that you can use
\startsetups[somename]
... whatever setups you need ...
\stopsetups
and then recall them by
\setups[somename]
I first saw the example of usage here, but didn't try them out by myself yet:
