Dear all,
between the days, as we say in Germany, I setup a proof of concept for a
repository with documents that reference each other.
I followed the Wiki:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/References_notes_and_floats/References
I had no problems when all master files were in the same toplevel folder:
master-1.tex
master-2.tex
components-for-1/
components-for-2/
I also tried to include files from other folders outside the hierarchy
of the main folder with \useexternaldocument, but that does not work.
While \from gave the intended result, \at, \about, \in and \page does not.
While I did not expect this to work at all, as relative paths and
absolute paths may break when you deliver the final pdfs via a web
service or put them in an other folder somewhere else I wonder why \from
works and the others not.
Is it correct that the best and robust way to make a group of documents
that reference each other is to put them in the same folder?
To access references from another document context only needs the
tuc-file to get the labels, sections numbers etc.
You can also have the document and tuc files in different folders and
put the path to the tuc file in the second argument of \useexternaldocument.
Assume two document are in the subfolders 1 and 2 of a main folder you
can use the following settings to refer to the other document:
./1/master-1.tex
./2/master-2.tex
master-1.tex:
\useexternaldocument [...] [../2/master-2]
master-2.tex:
\useexternaldocument [...] [../1/master-1]
