I have an extensive multi-book project. Each book has a nickname, like TB for
"Textbook", "WB 1" for the "Workbook, Vol. 1":
TB -- 01_textbook.texWB 1 -- 03_workbook.texWB 2 -- 04_workbook.texWB 3 --
05_workbook.tex
WB 4 -- 06_workbook.tex
TG -- 08_teachersguide.tex
I have to prove to a government agency that the content meets several
requirements, so I'm giving them a simple file that says something like
"Requirement A is met in TB, "Cats", p. 11" basically letting the reader know
its in the textbook, section called "Cats", on p. 11. To mark the pages, I'm
simply dropping in macros called "\requirementA" "\requirementB" on whichever
page of whichever book demonstrates it meets the requirement, then the file
will aquatically list the book, section, and page number by searching for that
macro.
\define\requirementA{
\reference[markerA]{This is a comment.}
}
\define\requirementB{
\reference[markerB]{This is a comment.}
}
\define\requirementC{
\reference[markerC]{This is a comment.}
}
\starttext
\section{Cats}
\requirementA
\input knuth
\requirementC
\requirementB
\pagebreak
\section{Fish}
\input knuth
\input knuth
\input knuth
\input knuth
\requirementC
\requirementB
\pagebreak
\section{Frogs}
\input knuth
\requirementB
\pagebreak
\section{Markers}
\startitemize
\item Requirement A is met \at{page}[markerA].
\item Requirement B is met \at{page}[markerB].
\item Requirement C is met \at{page}[markerC].
\stopitemize
\stoptext
I have this sample code, but it only works for a single document, and only
displays page number. I tried looking at the \about and other related command,
but that requires giving a reference name and referring to the titles, not my
dropped macro. How can I modify this to display a message like below, plus also
scans the other files. *It only needs to reference the first found occurrence.*
Here is a sample message what the output should give:
"Requirement A is met in WB 3, "Bears", p. 33."
