Is there a shortcode to get the relative path of the current file?

Description

I have a file, e.g. in slides/intro.qmd which I am using to buid revealjs slides (which end up as slides/intro.html in my render).
I am following advice to also add in a decktape post-render script to generate a slides/intro.pdf in my toolchain.

My question is how I can, generally, refer to a PDF created for a particular file? Is there a way with a shortcode to get the slides/intro in some way, which I can then copy/paste into my templates to work for linking to any files?

function Pandoc(doc)
  print(quarto.doc.input_file)
  print(quarto.doc.output_file)
end

Embarrassingly, we don't appear to document this. We should, it's a public API and we even have lua-types declarations for it. I should also note that for format: pdf, you will get a .tex file instead of a .pdf file (and a .typ file for format: typst).

For pre- and post-render scripts, you have (documented, phew!) environment variables

Still an open documentation issue

• Document all public functions from quarto Lua API #4499

Also this comes from the exact same use case

• Input file in shortcodes #2230 leading to [FR] New Lua utility function to access qmd input filename #2249 which was closed prematurly due to discussion drift in thread

There is also still the idea to expose Lua Variable from pandoc and quarto as a shortcode

• Expose all LUA variables to Quarto meta shortcode #4770

And extension allows to do that right now through filter and shortcode: https://github.com/mcanouil/quarto-lua-env

{{< lua-env quarto.doc.input_file >}}

And this is for the story around this topic 😄

Thanks! How would I add this to my file to get it automatically, swap out the html to pdf, and embed with {{}}?
