### 27.7 Referencing split and extract files

You can use the predefined macro variables listed in Table 27-6 to refer to file names and titles of split and extract files. You can use these variables anywhere in a macro, including within JavaScript sections. They are valid in all parts of a file, including within the base part from which the other parts are split or extracted.

Table 27-6 Predefined macro variables for splits and extracts

Type | Variable | Description
File name |
    $$_basefile
| Base name only of the parent file, without extension.
    $$_currbase
| Base name only of the current split part, without extension.
    $$_currfile
| Current split part: file name with extension
    $$_currfilepath
| Current split part: full path and file name with extension
    $$_extrgraphid
| Internal file name of first graphic referenced in an extract
    $$_extrfile
| Current extract file name
    $$_extrgraph
| File name of first graphic in an extract, as modified by any [Graphics]ExtrGraphSuffix; use for thumbnails (see §27.8.3 Replacing extracts with links in the parent file)
    $$_extrgraphid
| DITA2Go internal name of first graphic in an extract
    $$_nextfile
| Split part that follows $$_currfile
    $$_prevfile
| Split part that precedes $$_currfile
Title |
    $$_currtitle
| Current file title, unaffected by extracts, so it can be used in an extract to get the parent file title.
    $$_basetitle
| Original document title, unaffected by splits.
    $$_prevtitle
| Title of $$_prevfile split part.
    $$_nexttitle
| Title of $$_nextfile split part.
    $$_extrtitle
| Current extracted-part title; used in a replacement macro for the extract, to reference the extract title.; see §27.8.3 Replacing extracts with links in the parent file.
Boolean |

    $$_lastfile
