Specifying file paths <span class="emoji">👣</span>

@content
* important for `\input{}`, but later also for other media types
* file and folder structure = tree structure <span class="emoji">🌳</span>
*	with `\input{}`, you can specify the path relative to the main file

<p data-category="Caution!" class="fragment">In **LaTeX,** you have to use UNIX-style paths. They are separated by a forward slash: `path/to/file`. We will use those from here on.</p>

A **single dot ‘`.`’** represents the current folder (in this case: `latex-skript`). It is optional, you could also write `praeamble.tex` here.

Compiling the project

@content
* **Only the main file** has to be compiled to get the complete PDF document.
* ++ Error messages include a reference to the corresponding subfile.
* ++ Subfiles cannot be compiled on their own as they don’t have a preamble.

<div class="box warning fragment">
From now on, we will compile the file `main.tex` in the project root.
To do so, right click on the file in TeXstudio and choose **“Select as explicit root document”** from the dropdown.
Next, compile as usual.
</div>

@title
A structured project

@content
You will find a file named `main.tex` in the folder `exercises/project-structure`.

* Put the sections of the file into separate files, named `section1.tex` and `section2.tex`.
* Include them using the `\input` command.
* Move the preamble to its own file in a similar fashion.
* Finally, have a look at the general project archive, starting from `main.tex` (in the root folder of the project archive). How do we include the different sections here?
