Document Classes ⇒ insert file name in the document (header, footer)

[Cherepan]

Hi all,
I would like to have a name of the (source) file to be inserted in the dvi (and subsequentlt in pdf) output (perhaps without extention).

Is there any way to do it without modifing header or footer manually?

thanx

You just have to use the \jobname command to place that file name wherever you want.

It seems to me like you are using the standard headers produced by \pagestyle{headings}. For an automation you should take a look at packages like fancyhdr or titlesec and create headers (and footers) with them.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Could you please point out some literature how to use this commad. Quick Googling has not helped.

Hi Cherepan,

just use it without parameters, it will print the file name.
Here's one example without additional packages like fancyhdr:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\pagestyle{headings}
\begin{document}
\markboth{\jobname}{\jobname}
text
\newpage
text
\end{document}

Save it, give the file a name and compile, you will get the file name in the header.

Well, the result is a word "head" in the header. Am I missing something?

Is the name that I should give differ from the one I save the file with?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

No, it's just the file name. Did you call it head.tex? In that case the result would be as desired.

Shame on me!!! I did!!!

Is there a way to make the file name to apper only on the first page?

[Cherepan]

Still, that does not work with "dissert" (a class for writing a thesis in Russian academia) document class at all. No name is printed.

Just use \markboth{}{} on/before the second page.

Perhaps we can help if you show us the class file, you could post dissert.cls as attachment here accompanied by a minimal working example.
