Defining additional search paths

 


tex2html_wrap_inline33790 tex2html_wrap_inline33790 Syntax

BD>path : directory1 [: directory2 ] [ ...] tex2html_wrap_inline33712

where directory1 and directory2 are the paths, in a format dependent upon the machine implementation, to the directories to be joined to the standard search path.

tex2html_wrap_inline33806 tex2html_wrap_inline33806

The PATH:  command is used to define additional search paths for input files. The effect is to add these paths temporarily (for the life of the session) to the search paths currently defined in the environment variable BDMACROS  (see §1.3.2). The order of searching is always (1) the current directory first, (2) the directories given by any defined search paths: the most recently defined are searched first. Examples for UNIX  and WINDOWS  implementations are:

UNIX :

BD>path : bd/bdinputs/special/:bd/oldinputs tex2html_wrap_inline33712

WINDOWS :

BD>path : bd tex2html_wrap_inline33968 bdinputs tex2html_wrap_inline33968 special tex2html_wrap_inline33968 ;bd tex2html_wrap_inline33968 oldinputs tex2html_wrap_inline33712
