Why this tool? (Simple User Guide)

This tool is very useful for mantaining your LaTeX documents, because it simplifies the adaptation of the code to the FS environment, that is generated automatically. IE., to start a new project you must create a new folder like

jbtex mkdir test

In this main-folder are automatically generated a preamb.tex (for preamble) that will contain the preamble of the document. Then it will appear also a dirlist.in file, which will contain the directories that has to be included by creation; this file is used also to reckon the main folder from the subdolders. With the same comamnd you could create also the subdirs, but no preamb.tex file will be generated.

After that, you can create your ".tex" files, that will be included in the main file in alphabetic order (so i suggest to enumerate your files in the folder, as 01hello.tex and 02world.tex

After that, in any position of the jbTeX project, you could invoke

jbtex mkworld

in order to generate the main main.tex file and to compile it to main.pdf, after generating the main.tex recursively in all the subfolders
