I was adding some wiki information to the tag texmf, and found to my surprise that the wiki information concerning the tags folders and directory are empty, too, and that the information for the tag paths seems to be odd.
So far we have
- around 300 questions tagged paths
- around 60 questions tagged folders
- around 40 questions tagged directory
As far as I can see, there are different but overlapping usages for each of the three tags. I try to summarize here the most common usages.
So we have questions related
to including files from subdirectories
to aspects of the TeX Document structure, e.g. the paths to certain packages and classes
to make a graphic of a directory structure in the document
to write certain output files to different directories
…
Anyway, there are certain other tags which relate to the usages listed here, texmf, kpathsea, include, input, output (also undefined), …
Given the unclear usage of tags mentioned in the title of the question, I would like to put this to discussion here:
How should these tags be organized in a better way?
Should we define the separate usages as distinct tags? Should one of these tags (maybe paths) be a kind of parent tag?
