10.3.3 Other Dynamic Information ¶

To get the current output unit being converted, use current_output_unit:

Function: $output_unit = $converter->current_output_unit () ¶

Return the output unit being converted, or undef if there is no output unit.

To get the file name of the current output unit being converted, use current_filename:

Function: $filename = $converter->current_filename () ¶

Return the file name of the current output unit being converted.

To get the text filling and alignement context, determined by @flushleft or @center, use in_align:

Function: $align_context = $converter->in_align () ¶

If the alignment context is the default alignement context, return undef. Otherwise, returns the command name of the alignment context.

To determine if the conversion is in a context converted multiple times, use in_multiple_conversions:

Function: $multiple_conversion = $converter->in_multiple_conversions () ¶

Return true if the Texinfo tree being converted is converted multiple times and the current conversion is not the main conversion.

For example, return true if a node name is converted as part of a direction string formating in a navigation panel, which is not the main expansion of the @node. The main @node element expansion occurs where the @-command is located.

To determine if the a mutiple expansion context is set, use in_multi_expanded:

Function: $multi_expanded_context_information = $converter->in_multi_expanded () ¶

Return a string representing the multiple expanded context, or undef if not in a multiple expanded context.

A multiple expanded context implies to be in multiple conversions. However, it is possible to be in multiple conversions without being in a multiple expanded context, as a multiple expanded context needs to be set explicitly, and is not always needed.

To get the current paragraph and preformatted number, use paragraph_number or preformatted_number:

Function: $number = $converter->paragraph_number () ¶

Function: $number = $converter->preformatted_number () ¶

Return the current paragraph or preformatted container number in the current formatting context.

To get the topmost block @-command being converted, use top_block_command:

Function: $command_name = $converter->top_block_command () ¶

Return the most recent block @-command seen in the current formatting context.
