I have my documents all organized in subdirectories under D:\Documents, as for example '..\images', '..\txt', '..\misc' and etc. When I tried to setup a User-Managed TEXMF Directory, to save myself specifying full paths each time I 'input' or 'include' *.tex documents, I was getting the "Not a TDS-compliant root directory". I have read the guide and experimented with different methods already. My questions are: 1- Can a user managed texmf directory be used for documents as well? 2- Do I have to move my documents to a ROOT directory under TEXMF then organize them further on while there? 2- Is the use of deep directories (say 3 levels) allowed here? 3- If the above is not meant for documents such as chapters of a book (vs. *.sty etc.) then is the SET TEXINPUTS the other best alternative? 4- What is the best way to implement SET TEXINPUTS? Good ol DOS set command, or in batch files before calling 'latex'? All I am trying to accomplish is to keep my documents well organized, sometimes 4 levels deep, and meanwhile avoid typing full path in '\include{}' command. You may have a better idea in managing a growing number of files and references. Thanks much. Regards, |
