Hi,

Is there a way to keep a source file (.tex) somewhere far from the directory where working files (.aux, .log, .dvi, .pdf, etc.) get created? I'm using Kile, but the question sounds to me like General.

Yes, you can use absolute paths, starting with a slash, such as

Code: Select all

\input{/home/user/tex/macros}

Thanks!

Do you mean that the master file still has to be present in the working directory and nowhere else?

LaTeX.org
