Component: \product, \project

Component: \product, \project

[Procházka Lukáš Ing. - Pontex s. r. o.]

Hello,

when looking at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure -

- why \product and/or \project specification is used in the COMPONENT in the example, or why is it supposed or even required to use in components?

I imagined that component doesn't need to know in which project/product is used, even when in may be intended to more projects/products.

So does it mean I would have to enumerate all projects/products in which the component is to be used?

Or can be \product and/or \project specification omitted in the component?

Best regards,

Lukas

Hello Lukáš,

Usually, projects (collections of environment files) are applied at the
product level. Sometimes, however, you want to apply one at the component
level, so you put a \project in the \startcomponent.

You never need to put \product anywhere.

Clearer descriptions of what the commands \project and \product do can
be found on the command pages; same for all the other structure
commands. The [[Project structure]] page is indeed confusing, it needs
a better structure itself.

Description from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/project:
When used inside a \startproduct or \startcomponent environment,
\project is an instruction to source any \environment files linked in
the project file.

Description from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/product:
The command \product does not do anything: to link a product to a
project file, one should use \project inside the product. Nonetheless,
the \product command is often used inside project files as a reminder
of what products the project involves.

Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Sietse
