And the beginning lines in section1.tex look like this:
\startcomponent section1 \project book \product chapter0/chapter0
Does it matter what you put after the \startcomponent? I'm always trying to figure out whether to use the full relative path or just the last piece of it. Would \product chapter0 also work? I'm pretty sure it would: I think the \product line is ignored and only the \project file is read. When I compile a component that begins with \startcomponent c_ch1 \product onebook \project project_books I get: systems : begin file c_ch1 at line 1 systems : begin file project_books at line 3 (../../project_books.tex systems : begin file env_books at line 3 (../../env_books.tex) systems : end file env_books at line 3 ) systems : end file project_books at line 3
\usefigurebase[figures/figlibSection1]
Ah, that must be the equivalent of \setupexternalfigures{directory=figures/figlibSection1}
I haven't tried to compile book.tex (too big), so I don't know if that works.
It might work, though I remember reading on the list sometime that one isn't supposed to compile the project file -- only the components or the products. Which brings me back to what I don't understand about the project structuring (the purpose of the \product command). -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
