I've got a very short question, but coupled to a very long
explanation, my question is: when referencing a component file from
within a product file (and given that the component file is stored in
the same directory as the product file, which is in a sub-directory
below my project file) must I include the relative path of the component
file from my project directory, through my sub-directories to my
component file, or can I just refer to the component's filename.
Now here is the actual example. I've done a little bit of ASCII
artwork below showing the directory structure that I'm following. My
artwork isn't the best, so I've also include some explanation.
Project
|
---- EnviromentPageLayout.tex (global environment file)
|
---- Project.tex (project file)
|
|----|
| FrontMatter (directory)
| |
| ---- EnvironmentFrontMatter.tex (local environment file)
| |
| ---- ProductFrontMatter.tex (product file)
| |
| ---- TitlePage.tex (component file)
| |
| ---- Contents.tex (component file)
| |
| ---- Preface (component file)
|
|----|
| BodyMatter (directory)
| |
| ---- EnvironmentBodyMatter.tex (local environment file)
| |
| ---- ProductBodyMatter.tex (product file)
| |
| ---- Chapter01.tex (component file)
| |
| ---- Chapter02.tex (component file)
| |
|----|
BackMatter (directory)
|
---- EnvironmentBackMatter.tex (local environment file)
|
---- ProductBackMatter.tex (product file)
|
---- Appendix01.tex (component file)
|
---- Index.tex (component file)
In my Project directory I have two files:
1) EnvironmentPageLayout.tex
If you are interested in an environment, the one I've based mine
on is the one posted by David Arnold
http://ml-archives.mini.pw.edu.pl/ntg-context/msg02853.html
2) Project.tex
----
%project file
\startproject Project
\environment EnvironmentPageLayout
\product FrontMatter/ProductFrontMatter
\product BodyMatter/ProductBodyMatter
\product BackMatter/ProductBackMatter
\stopproject
---
From the project directory, I've created 3 sub-directories,
FrontMatter, BodyMatter, and BackMatter and each of these
sub-directories contains:
1) an Environment file
2) a Product file, for example, in the BodyMatter directory, I have
-----
% product file
\startproduct ProductBodyMatter
\project Project
\environment BodyMatter/EnvironmentBodyMatter
\startbodymatter
\component BodyMatter/Chapter01
\stopbodymatter
\stopproduct
-----
3) many Component files, for example, Chapter01.tex, in the BodyMatter
directory, looks like:
-----
% component Chapter01
\startcomponent Chapter01
\project ProjectJavaXMLManuscript
\product BodyMatter/ProductBodyMatter
\chapter[introduction]{Introduction}
\stopcomponent
-----
So my question in terms of the above structure, is: must I refer to
each component in the product file by its full path name
\component BodyMatter/Chapter01
or can I refer to it, by just its file name
\component Chapter01
where Chapter01.tex is a file contained in a subdirectory of the
project file.

Hi,
Indeed you need to add the (relative) path, simply because tex cannot ask
for a directory (well, now i think of it, it can by using a sys call;
actually i do have a script that generates an xml path structure, so maybe
i can add that as feature some day)
if your filenames are unique, you can omit the paths and say:
\usepath[BodyMatter]
\usepath[FrontMatter]
context does look for files at . and .. and ../.. and ../../..
(configurable depth)
