Output name

Output name

[David Arnold]

All,

Is there a way to setup in your document what you want the name of the
output file to be when the document is compiled? I know you can do this
with the --result switch with texexec, but I would like to know how to set
this in the source file, if possible.

Also, if this is possible, is it possible to set it up in the source
document so that it attaches "whatever" to the filename of the source
document?

You may write all options for texexec
in the first line of your source (after a %).
e.g.
% interface=en language=de output=pdf result=mynewfile

See the texexec documentation (mtexexec.pdf)!

No, since one cannot set the output file from within tex. But, when using
result and a recent context version, you can ask for the result name during
a run. The final name is available in \outputfilename

I'm not sure what you mean, but yesterday I implemented

  texexec --suffix="-s" filename

so that you get filename-s as result file. I needed it for: 

  texexec --suffix="-s" *.tex
