 In the wiki there is an item on project structure containing a \usepath but 
 that didn't help me out.

You can specify with them subdirectories where context looks when you include a 
component file, e.g. instead of

   \startproduct product

   \component subdirectory/component-1
   \component subdirectory/component-2

   \stopproduct

you can write

   \startproduct product

   \usepath[subdirectory]

   \component component-1
   \component component-2

   \stopproduct

Re: [NTG-context] usepath?

2011-09-29 Thread Meer, H. van der
This didn't work for me. I guess it has to do with some misunderstanding about 
the directory from where projects start reckoning. The directory structure is:

directory-project
directory-project/product (context runs from here)
directory-project/product/component-a-subfiles
directory-project/product/component-b-subfiles

Code in directory-project/product/component-a-subfile does \input but cannot 
find files in directories below or in directories alongside. My question is 
from what directory starts the search tree?

When you process the product it starts from the directory where the product is 
(directory-project/product) and when you process a component it starts from the 
directory where the component files is 
(“directory-project/product/component-a-subfiles” or 
“directory-project/product/component-b-subfiles”). You problem could be that 
you use \input to load the components but you need the \component command.

It’s sometimes easier to look at the definition of the MkII version of the 
command to understand how something works.
