Re: Filename of file being processed from within Lout

I don't think so.  But you can certainly achieve this result by means of
some preprocessing trick.  For instance, you could have the following
set of rules in your makefile:

  %.lout2: %.lout
           echo "def @SourceFileName \"$<\"" > $@ && \
           cat $< >> $@

  %.ps: %.lout2
           lout -o $@ $<


With these rules, when you type `make chbouib.ps', a `chbouib.lout2'
file will first get created where address@hidden' is defined to be the
name of the original source file.

Hope this helps,
Ludovic.
