Thanx! That solved it!

I still cannot figure out how to solve the "articles" part (subdir).

In the "source" dir I have another dir called "articles" where I put submitted
articles also written in AsciiDoc but in this dir the conf/asciidoc.conf is
diffrent than in the the source dir so I can't have these files in the
"source" dir. I have tried a lot of combinations with ":child
source/articles/main.aap" and changed the "ROOT" variable in the filelist to
"ARTICLES" but I get an message about that source/articles/main.aap doesent
know how to build "about.asc" which is a file in "source" not in "articles".
Even after I have changed the the "HTML_FILES" variable to "ARTICLES" wich is
a variable in the "filelist.aap".  ( I hope you understand what I mean).

Here is an exact description of what I want to do :)

/
/source/
/source/conf/
/source/atricles
/source/articles/conf
/html

In the source dir the "main" site is located and in the "articles" dir
submitted articles are located. In those dirs there is another dir "conf"
which contans a asciidoc.conf file which holds the configuration when
generating html from the ascidoc files. These need to be diffrent (that's why
I need to have a seperate dir for the articles).

Going to / and type "aap" would first go to "source" and build all the %.asc
files using /source/conf/asciidoc.conf configuration file and then go to
"/source/articles" and build all the %.asc files using
"/source/articles/conf/asciidoc.conf" configuration and all build files should
be palced in the /html dir. *phew* 

Or am I doing something very wrong here? :)
