Hi,
What is the correct way to set or modify the search path for tex files?
I want to make it mode-dependent. For example, for figures I have
something like
\doifmode{en} {\def\FigDirLanguage{fig/lang_en}\def\DocumentSuffix{EN}\mainlanguage[en]}
\doifmode{de} {\def\FigDirLanguage{fig/lang_de}\def\DocumentSuffix{DE}\mainlanguage[de]}
[...]
\setupexternalfigures[directory={fig,{\FigDirLanguage},{../fig},{../\FigDirLanguage}}]
I want to be able to do for example
\input disclaimer
And have it use the correct version. (There are more complicated
scenarios too).
In case there is a better way to do it, what I want is to have language-
or mode- specific versions of some "boilerplate" texts. These would be
in individual files. Documents elsewhere in a directory tree could
reference these using a standard name and it would be picked according
to the set language/mode.
Thanks,
John
