### Absolute paths
|
||
* path from the root directory to a file
|
||
* the direcories are separated by special characters:
|
||
* in UNIX: `/`
|
||
* in Windows: `\`
|
||
|
||
<div class="fragment">
|
||
<p data-category="Example">absolute path for `main.tex`</p>
|
||
|
||
* UNIX: `/home/knut/docs/latex/main.tex`
|
||
* Windows: `C:\knut\docs\latex\main.tex`
|
||
|
||
<p data-category="Caution!">In **LaTeX,** you have to use UNIX-style paths. Therefore, we will use those from here on.</p>

### Relative paths
|
||
* path from somewhere in the tree to a certain file
|
||
* shorter + less typing! <span class="emoji">☺</span>
|
||
* with `\input{}` and `\include{}`, you can specify the path relative to the main file
|
||
|
||
<div class="fragment">
|
||
<p data-category="Example">Relative path \
|
||
from `main.tex` to `part1.tex`</p>
|
||
|
||
`./part1.tex`
|
||
|
||
A **single dot ‘`.`’** in a relative path represents the current folder (in this case: `latex`). It is optional, you could also write `part1.tex` here.

**Two dots ‘`..`’** represent the parent folder of the current folder (in this case: `latex`, parent of `main`).

* **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.

Outsourcing the preamble
|

|

@content
|

What do you think happens when we outsource the preamble into its own subfile?
|
||
|
||
Will the document compile?
|
||
|
||
++ **Yes, it will!** \
|
||
A simple way of keeping the main file even more organised.

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

* ++ Extract the sections into their own files (`section1.tex`, `section2.tex`, and `section3.tex`) and insert them using the `\include` command.
|

* ++ Which command is rendered superfluous by `\include`?
