Re: [NTG-context] Building a Component

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. -- “The Electric Monk was a labour-saving device, like a dishwasher or a video recorder...

Malte Stien mailto:malte@stien.de 12. September 2016 um 13:03 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 Move the two lines after \startcomponent. \startcomponent component-1 \starttext You don’t need \starttext/\stoptext when you use product and component files.
