| Summary | 0000212: Allow internals inside outputtemplate | ||||
| Description | Find a way to have automatic output extension selection in outputtemplate. Perhaps this trick to have an interface to the internal parameters would be nice? outputtemplate := "%j-%i.%{outputformat}" I don't want to allow macro expansion etc. inside, but directly reading the internal values seems like a nice generic approach, better than yet another %<asciichar> ? | ||||

The mapping would be Real expressions at that point would be hard an I am certainly not in favor of that. But internal variables for 'hour' and 'minute' would work, you could just 'newinternal' these. (I don't mind adding core internals, but I don't want to spend another day discussing names for them.) > where the output of %[0-9]{} is padded with zeros and converted to a > string on-the fly. sure. > For %j there is no internal variable present, but I hope it would be > possible to introduce a new one called > > jobname I could convert jobname into an internal variable, now that there are string-based ones. I have to check, but my first guess is that that can be done in a backward-compatible way. |

Implemented by 0000931 and 0000934. The input format is as proposed above: there a new %{<internal>} replacement specifier. Side-effects: the token "jobname" is now a string-valued internal, and there are two new numeric internals: "hour" and "minute". |
