-<title>UK TeX FAQ -- question label docotherdir</title>
-</head><body>
-<h3>Bits of document from other directories</h3>
-<p/>A common way of constructing a large document is to break it into a
-set of files (for example, one per chapter) and to keep everything
-related to each of these subsidiary files in a subdirectory.
-<p/>Unfortunately, TeX doesn&rsquo;t have a changeable &ldquo;current directory&rdquo;,
-so that all files you refer to have to be specified relative to the
-same directory as the main file. Most people find this
-counter-intuitive.
-<p/>It may be appropriate to use the &ldquo;path extension&rdquo; technique
-
-<a href="FAQ-tempinst.html">used in temporary installations</a> to deal with
-this problem. However, if there several files with the same name in
-your document, such as <i>chapter1/fig1.eps</i> and
-<i>chapter2/fig1.eps</i>, you&rsquo;re not giving TeX any hint as to
-which you&rsquo;re referring to when in the main chapter file you say
-<code>\</code><code>input{sect1}</code>; while this is readily soluble in the case of
-human-prepared files (just don&rsquo;t name them all the same),
-automatically produced files have a way of having repetitious names,
-and changing <em>them</em> is a procedure prone to error.
-<p/>The <i>import</i> package comes to your help here: it defines an
-<code>\</code><code>import</code> command that accepts a full path name and the name of a
-file in that directory, and arranges things to &ldquo;work properly&rdquo;.
-So, for example, if <i>/home/friend/results.tex</i> contains
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-Graph: \includegraphics{picture}
-\input{explanation}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-then <code>\</code><code>import{/home/friend/}{results}</code> will include both
-graph and explanation as one might hope. A <code>\</code><code>subimport</code> command
-does the same sort of thing for a subdirectory (a relative path rather
-than an absolute one), and there are corresponding <code>\</code><code>includefrom</code>
-and <code>\</code><code>subincludefrom</code> commands.
-<p/>The <i>chapterfolder</i> package provides commands to deal with its
-(fixed) model of file inclusion in a document. It provides commands
-<code>\</code><code>cfpart</code>, <code>\</code><code>cfchapter</code>, <code>\</code><code>cfsection</code> and <code>\</code><code>cfsubsection</code>,
-each of which takes directory and file arguments, e.g.:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\cfpart[pt 1]{Part One}{part1}{part}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-which command will issue a &lsquo;normal&rsquo; command
-<code>\</code><code>part[pt 1]{Part One}</code> and then input the file
-<i>part1/part.tex</i>, remembering that <i>part1/</i> is now the
-&ldquo;current folder&rdquo;. There are also commands of the form
-<code>\</code><code>cfpartstar</code> (which corresponds to a <code>\</code><code>part*</code> command).
-<p/>Once you&rsquo;re &ldquo;in&rdquo; a <i>chapterfolder</i>-included document, you
-may use <code>\</code><code>cfinput</code> to input something relative to the &ldquo;current
-folder&rdquo;, or you may use <code>\</code><code>input</code>, using <code>\</code><code>cfcurrentfolder</code> to
-provide a path to the file. (There are also
-<code>\</code><code>cfcurrentfolderfigure</code> for a <i>figure/</i> subdirectory and
-<code>\</code><code>cfcurrentfolderlistings</code> for a <i>listings/</i> subdirectory.)
-<p/>Documentation of <i>chapterfolder</i> is in French, but the
-<i>README</i> in the directory is in English.
