Hi List, 

this does not work, although I would think it should (at least if there
is no typo or so):

,----
| #+name: project-root
| #+header: :var buf-file=(buffer-file-name)
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
| (file-name-directory
|  (directory-file-name
|   (file-name-directory buf-file)))
| #+end_src
`----

#+results: project-root
: /home/tj/News/drafts/

,----
| #+name: project-name
| #+header: :exports none
| #+header: :var root-dir=project-root(buf-file=(buffer-file-name))
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
|   (mapconcat
|    'capitalize
|    (split-string
|     (file-name-nondirectory root-dir)
|     "-" 'OMIT-NULLS)
|    " ")
| #+end_src
`----

#+results: project-name

Wrong usage of :var or limitations of header arguments?

I think everything is doing what it is supposed to from an Org-mode
perspective, see below (with different functions).

This is to be expected.  The two blocks above compose to something like

    #+begin_src emacs-lisp
      (file-name-nondirectory
       (file-name-directory
        (directory-file-name
         (file-name-directory
          (buffer-file-name)))))
    #+end_src

Calling `file-name-nondirectory' on the results of `file-name-directory'
seems like it should give you an empty string.

Best,

This works

,----
| #+name: project-root
| #+header: :var buf-file=(buffer-file-name)
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
| (file-name-directory
|  (directory-file-name
|   (file-name-directory buf-file)))
| #+end_src
| 
| #+name: project-name
| #+header: :exports none
| #+header: :var root=project-root
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
|   (mapconcat
|    'capitalize
|    (split-string
|     (file-name-nondirectory
|     (directory-file-name root))
|     "-" 'OMIT-NULLS)
|    " ")
| #+end_src
`----

so it was just wrong usage ... sorry for the noise

Yes, I figured that out myself before I saw your post, there was a
mistake in my code. 

Thanks anyway.
