Hi all,
Since I read the thread concerning the LaTeX \includeonly equivalent, I tried
again to make to project structure work for me (I gave up some time ago).
Here is my problem:
I have a product file p.tex
%% p.tex
\startproduct p
\environment e
\component c
\component d
\stopproduct
%% end
an environment file e.tex
%% e.tex
\startenvironment e
% style commands...
\stopenvironment
%% end
and two component files c.tex and d.tex
%% c.tex (d.tex is the same file, except content part)
\setupreferencing[autofile=yes]
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\startcomponent c
\product p
% content
\stopcomponent
but no project file.
When I run context on the product file, everything is ok. But when I run
context on one component file, it doesn't read the environment file because
the \product command doesn't seem to be read (that's what I understand from
the documentation). So, how should I do to inform context to read the
environment mentionned in the product file. Is it obligatory to use a project
file to be able to read the parent environment when processing a component?
Another question which I think is linked to the previous one is: is one
supposed to run context on a component? My different tests shows that a run on
a component load all the other components mentionned in the product. So it
seems to be equivalent to run context on a product or on a component (except
for the environment problem mentionned before). That's also what the wiki
seems to say (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Project_structure):
"In addition, you have to keep in mind that when compiling a product or
component file, ConTeXt goes "up" to the project file and compiles everything
it finds in there that is not a \product".
So, actually, I'm not able to reproduce the \includeonly equivalent with
\component (even if I use \setupreferencing[autofile=yes] and
\setupinteraction[state=start]).
Do I miss something?
All the best.
