I have a technical manual setup in ConTeXt whereby the manual itself is a ConTeXt 'project' and each chapter is a different component. Within this, I need to group some chapters together so these grouped chapters are products.. Thus, I have:
project: MyManual component: Chapter 1 component: Chapter 2 component: Chapter 3 product: Example 1 component: Chapter 4 component: Chapter 5 product: Example 2 component: Chapter 6 component: Chapter 7 product: Example 3 component: Chapter 8 component: Chapter 9
Hello Randall, it's considered, that the project-file contains only setup-commands and a list of products, but no commands, that generate directly output. When you compile a product, the referenced project-file gets included in some manner, so every product of the project will inherit the same setups. Compiling the project-file is seldom useful. It will generate all products in one file. Consider just, that one product is one document, and a component is a kind of "sub-document" for example a chapter. And the project-file is just a list of documents, that should inherit some common setups. I suggest the following structure: project: MyManual product: the manual component: Chapter 1 component: Chapter 2 component: Chapter 3 component: Chapter 4 component: Chapter 5 component: Chapter 6 component: Chapter 7 component: Chapter 8 component: Chapter 9 product: Example 1 component: title page for example 1 component: Chapter 4 component: Chapter 5 product: Example 2 component: title page for example 2 component: Chapter 6 component: Chapter 7 product: Example 3 component: title page for example 3 component: Chapter 8 component: Chapter 9 I hope, this helps.
