Hi Gerben,

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)

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

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. G

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

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}? G

Untested: \filename{\currentcomponent}

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