Editor variables - current archive file

Hi folks.

Lovely work 12.2. Currently trying to get at least some of my publishing customers to buy copies for their EPUB QA teams.

Anyways... I may have failed to notice a way to do this but is there a way to retrieve the current archive (preferably as a URL) as an editor variable. It would be very useful to be able to pass it to XProc scenarios.

cheers

Hello,

Unfortunately there is no editor variable that would retrieve the name or path of the current archive from the Archive Browser view.

We did have a previous request for something similar, I'll add your vote for this request on our issue tracking tool.

If I may ask, how do yo intend to use the provided URL? What are you trying to do with it in the XProc scenario?

Regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian

What we are running a series of QA scripts across EPUBs, mostly schematrons, wrapped in a single XProc to produce a report for clients. Rather like epubcheck but based on customer requirements rather the epub specification itselft.

Also (see the post I made elsewhere just now), we have an NCX renumbering script that we apply via XProc.
