Hi all,

I wrote some articles with context and they contain (of course) sections. Now I have to include all these articles in a book but each article should become a section of the book. So I wonder if there is a way to convert the \section command of the article files into \subsection in the book.

Minimal not working (but supposed to explain my problem) example:

%%% article.tex \startsection[title=A first point] .... \stopsection \startsection[title=A second point] .... \stopsection

%%% book.tex % command to make the \section of the input articles become \subsection % commands \startsection[title=My first article] \input article \stopsection

%%% end

I know I can change the \section commands of the article.tex into \ArticleSection and switch with \definehead[ArticleSection][section] \definehead[ArticleSection][subsection] depending of the context, but it would be better (for me) to not modify the article.tex files.

Any ideas?

you can use \startwhatever when you do: \definehead[whatever][section] or \definehead[whatever][subsection] or alternatively look into levels-001.tex and levels-002.tex in the test suite to see how to use relative sectioning ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thank in advance.

If faced with this problem I would import the tex file into gvim and do a mass change with one statement like: :% s/\\section/\\subsection/ Then I would save the tex file under a different name. If there are already subsections I would convert them to subsubsections first, then convert the sections to subsections. Eqch step is just a singl command in gvim. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
