Ancillaries Management System

• TextContents Contains files whose names are 0.tex, (the Preface), 1.tex, 2.tex, ... , n.tex, where file i.tex contains the text of Chapter i:

  	%!TEX root = ../TextControls/\jobname.tex
  	\chapter{My ith Chapter}
  		Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text  
  

  plus the file ALL.tex which is the list of all chapters:

  	%!TEX root = ../TextControls/\jobname.tex
  	\include{../Text-contents/0}%Preface 
  	\mainmatter
  	\include{../TextContents/1}
  	\include{../TextContents/2}	
  	...
  	\include{../TextContents/n}	
  

• TextControls Contains files whose names also are 0.tex, 1.tex, 2.tex, ..., n.tex, and which are all copies of:

  	% !TEX TS-program = pdflatexmk
  	\documentclass[11pt]{book}
  	\usepackage{../StyleSheets/Preamble}
  	\usepackage{../StyleSheets/GraphicsPaths}
  	\begin{document}
  		\addtocounter{chapter}{\jobbame-1}%Automatically numbers the chapter from the file name.
  		\addtocounter{page}{0}%To adjust the first page number, for instance to fit to the WholeBook
  		\include{../Contents/\jobname}%Text of Chapter i
  		\printindex
  	\end{document}
  

  plus the file ALL.tex which puts together all uncommented chapters in TextContents/ALL.tex:

  	\documentclass[11pt]{book}
  	\usepackage{../StyleSheets/Preamble}
  	\usepackage{../StyleSheets/GraphicsPaths}
  	\begin{document}
  		\frontmatter
  			\include{../TextContents/1}
  			\include{../TextContents/2}
  			...
  			\include{../TextContents/n}
  	\end{document}
  

• Graphics
• Figures
• StyleSheets which contains the files:
  • Preamble.sty

    	\usepackage
    	...
    	\setcounter
    	...
    	\newcommand
    	...
    	\newenvironment
    	...
    	etc
    

  • GraphicPaths.sty

    \graphicspath%one path per chapter
    {%begin list of graphics paths
    	{../Figures/Basic/}%
    	{../Figures/Text/1/}%
    	{../Figures/Text/2/}%
    	...
    	{../Figures/Text/i/}%
    	...
    	{../Figures/Text/n/}%
    }%end list of graphics paths
    
  two folders: and the folder
  
  ---Thirdly, I have a folder WholeBook which contains the file MyBook which is the usual root file: \documentclass[11pt]{book} \usepackage{xxx} \usepackage{yyy} \begin{document} \frontmatter \include{../Contents/1} \include{../Contents/2} etc \end{document} Thus, I can compile a chapter either from the Content file or from the Control file will typeset just the chapter. In fact, for the sake of symmetry, I am now using the following variation on the above theme I have only the two folders: Contents and Controls in which I have the same files as above but also, in addition: ---In the Contents folder: The file ALL.tex: %!TEX root = ../Controls/\jobname.tex \include{../Contents/0}%Preface to be numbered along with the contents, etc \mainmatter \include{../Contents/1} \include{../Contents/2} etc ---In the Controls folder The file ALL.tex: \documentclass[11pt]{book} \usepackage{xxx} \usepackage{yyy} \begin{document} \frontmatter \input{../Contents/ALL} \backmatter \include{../Text-contents/99}%That's the GNU FDL \printindex \end{document} Regards --schremmer P.S. I use the same scheme for the ancillaries, shortly to be downloadable.
