\product tag

\product tag

[john Culleton]

In a MKIV file using the approved method of structuring projects,
does the \product tag do anything or is it just internal
documentation for the source file? When I process a file called
book.tex and containing the tag:
\product foobar
the result is a file called book.pdf, just as if the tag did not
exist.

The name of the output file is always the name of the main input file
and you can only change this with the result option for context/texexec scripts.

The \product command is a special version of \input and the given file
is only read when the command appears in a project file and since it is
no longer recommended to use a project as main file the command has
no real purpose except a internal reference (in a component) to the parent file.

Hi John,

What Wolfgang said: `\product X` should be processed once inside
`\startproject` environments, and never otherwise. And you should
probably have products as your build targets, not projects.

@Hans: when I looked at the `processors` table in file-job.lua, I
found some discrepancies between the processing commands and the
reporting strings. Here is the table edited to show just the
discrepancies:

local processors = utilities.storage.allocate {
    -- [we_are_inside_startthis] = {
    --     [we_encounter_this] = { "string_for_message",
processing_command }, -- comment
    -- }
    [v_text] = {
        [v_project]     = { "none", context.processfileonce }, -- none
        [v_product]     = { "none", context.processfileonce }, -- none
    },
    [v_project] = {
        [v_product]     = { "once", context.processfilenone }, -- once
        -- consistent, but strange comment
        [v_component]   = { "none", context.processfilenone }, -- many *
    },
    [v_product] = {
        [v_product]     = { "none", context.processfilemany }, -- none
    },
}

Is this all right? In general, the reporing strings are the ones
consistent with the table at the bottom of
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure
which is taken from page 3 of
http://pragma-ade.com/general/magazines/mag-1101.pdf

Cheers,

Sietse
