Hi, I like to add a sort of watermark with info about the git revision at the bottom of some files that I typeset. I’m using Lua, so I have: context(os.resultof("git --no-pager log --pretty='%h of %aD' -1 foo.xml”)) which gives something like "git revision b085c92a of Wed, 14 Feb 2018 12:49:35 +0100.” Suppose I want to make this more general. What would be the easiest way to either say “the xml file that is being processed” (something like arg[1]) or “the xml file whose name is in the Lua variable ‘foo?’” Thanks! Thomas
