Hello List,

Greetings to all members! This is my first post here... Relatively new in Context, I've loved it since the first minute!

I write technical manuals with Context. Some chapters of the manuals are depending on the type of the machine which are described in the manual.

I try  to use \usepath  to load the right texfile from different folders.   My variable for searching the correct folder is \machinename. \machinename is set before compiling

The folders are: /MakeText/Ang/machineA/techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex /MakeText/Ang/machineB/techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex ... /MakeText/Ang/machineX/techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex

You can also do this (thatfile.tex): \starttext \usepath[/foo/\getdocumentargument{machine}/whatever] see what we have: /foo/\getdocumentargument{machine}/whatever \stoptext run as: context thatfile.tex --machine=mymachine or maybe context thatfile.tex --path=mymachine is also sufficient

Tex example:

\usepath[/MakeText/Ang/\machinename/] .... \input   /techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex \input   /otherfolder/otherfile.tex \input...

I can compile and I get a nice PDF,  but the inverse search is not possible. (I use Sumatra and Notepad++) NPP only looks at the path after    \input... /techdaten/Ang_techdaten.tex

Do any of you know a workaround  for this? Is   \usepath the suited command? What do you mean with 'inverse search'?
