Building a Component

Building a Component

[Malte Stien]

Hi all,

I am just familiarising myself with projects/products/components. I have a number of documents that all belong to a large set of Reference Manuals and so far I have built them all separately and have relied a lot on the simple \input... statement. I assume with projects/products/components I might be able to do something much smarter. Let’s see.

I get stuck quite early on, though. I have created a minimal component file ‘component-1.tex’ and when I build it, context runs into what seems to be an infinite recursion. Here is the file:


\project test-project
\product reference-manual-1
\startcomponent component-1
\starttext

\section[c1-s1]{Component 1 Section 1}
This is a paragraph in Component 1 Section 1

\stoptext
\stopcomponent


...and here is the console when I run it:


> context component-1.tex
...
...
...
open source     > 196 > 198 > component-1.tex
open source     > 197 > 199 > reference-manual-1.tex
open source     > 198 > 200 > component-1.tex
open source     > 199 > 201 > reference-manual-1.tex
open source     > 200 > 202 > component-1.tex
open source     > 201 > 203 > reference-manual-1.tex

tex error       > tex error on line 2 in file reference-manual-1.tex: ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [text input levels=600]


\m_syst_action_nop #1 ->\clf_startproduct {#1}
                                              
l.11 \startproduct reference-manual-1
                                   

1     % \project test-project
2 >>  \startproduct reference-manual-1
3     
4     \component component-1
5     
6     \stopproduct
7     


Here is reference-manual-1.tex:


\project test-project
\startproduct reference-manual-1

\component component-1

\stopproduct


This is with the latest context downloaded today. All I really know about this is from here http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure; anything else I should be reading?

Any ideas? Thank you,
Malte.

Move the two lines after \startcomponent.
> \startcomponent component-1
> \starttext
You don’t need \starttext/\stoptext when you use product and component 
files.

Hi Wolfgang,

Thank you, that works indeed. It seems to be incorrect on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure>; see Example Files/Component.

What is the significance of those two lines, though? The documentation states I can use the Component in any Product even if not specified on the \product line. I assume it just makes sure that the environment file for the Product is pulled in, would that be right? Does it do anything else?

Analogous, the \project line just pulls in environment file for the project?

Thank you,
Malte.
