Simple question: how do I get the filename in the footer

Simple question: how do I get the filename in the footer

[Gerben Wierda]

Simple question, guys (and gals),

how do I get the filename (full path not needed) in the footer of my document? I want it there while writing the book and remove it in the final stages. I am using MKII (TeXLive 2011 still)

texexec --pdf --mode=editor --once ../products/prd_book.tex
TeXExec | processing document '../products/prd_book.tex'
TeXExec | no ctx file found
TeXExec | tex processing method: context
TeXExec | writing option file prd_book.top
TeXExec | using randomseed 712
TeXExec | tex engine: pdftex
TeXExec | tex format: cont-en.mkii
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.3-1.40.12 (TeX Live 2011)
 restricted \write18 enabled.
 (/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf/web2c/natural.tcx)
entering extended mode
(../products/prd_book.tex

ConTeXt  ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKII  fmt: 2011.11.14  int: english/english

Thanks,

G

if the name of the main file suffices, then the TeX command
\jobname is what you are looking for.

·······································································

\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\setupfootertexts[pagenumber][{\jobname.tex}]
\starttext
\dorecurse{5}{\input knuth\page}
\stoptext

Thanks but that is not the one. Because I use the standard project setup, and the job is always to typeset the file prd_book.tex, but I want the chapter file names (e.g. "chapter1.tex") in the footer.

So, prd_book contains:

\startbodymatter
 \component chapter1
 \component chapter2
 \component chapter3
\stopbodymatter

And I want "chapter1.tex" (maybe full path) in the footer.

If the component identifier matches the file name (e.g. if you
use the asterisk instead of a name), you can use
\currentcomponent. So the main file foo.tex would look like:

    \setuppagenumbering[location=]
    %% footer:                    main file->component file
    \setupfootertexts[pagenumber][{\jobname->\currentcomponent}]
    \startproduct *
      \input ward \page
      \component bar
    \stopproduct

And bar.tex:

    \startcomponent *
      \input knuth \page
    \stopcomponent

Hi Philipp,

that runs into the problem that the file name might contain characters that TeX does not like, e.g. underscore. Is there a command to catch that?

(./c_loosely.tex
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text> 
                $
<to be read again> 
                   _
\currentcomponent ->c_
                      loosely


Thanks,

G

You can add the \nonknuthmode to your document which makes _ and ^ normal characters for text mode.

Is that limited to a {}-scope? And more importantly, that catches ^ and _, but what about whitespace etc. Isn;t there a true verbatim that I can use on a macro like \currentcomponent? Something along the lines of \verbatimexpand{\currentcomponent}?

Untested: \filename{\currentcomponent}

Works. When outside a component (e.g. index) it defaults to the string 'text'.
