Need help with preamble pathing












0















In my main.tex I am requesting my preamble to be loaded through the command usepackage{preamble}, which is in the same folder as my main.tex. My subfiles are located one folder below, e.g. MAIN/introduction/introduction.tex.



I would like to compile my subfiles as individual documents as well, but I get the error preamble.sty not found, which I presume is because I do not have a preamble.tex file located in my subfile folders, only in the main folder.



Is there a possible way around this? For example, would I be able to specify two paths for my preamble, e.g. usepackage{preamble} when I am compiling my main document and usepackage{../preamble} when I am compiling my subfile?



Thanks for the help.
