Root File Definition
I'm using TeXworks and TeX Live. The project files are stored in several folders, e.g. .../Tex/Introduction/intro.tex and the main.tex-file is stored in .../Tex/main.tex
I put the command % !TEX root = //homefolderOnServer/.../Tex/main.tex
at the beginning of the file intro.tex, but on compilation it tries to access the file path //homefolderOnServer.../Tex/Introduction///homefolderOnServer/.../Tex/main.tex and subsequently can't read the main.tex file.
Can anyone tell me why TeXworks joins the file paths of the intro and main file? And how do I prevent this?
Thanks!
Found the solution by myself.
It works if I use a relative path: /../main.tex
...so simple.
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p
