Is it possible to retrieve the current path of a page in a middleman file? For instance, if I have a layout file layout.erb with something like the following:

<%= page.path %>
<%= yield %>

and a test file index.html:

Testing

then when Middleman rendered the page I would get something like:

/index.html
Testing

Middleman also provides the current_page variable. current_page.path is the source path of this resource (relative to the source directory, without template extensions) and current_page.url is the path without the directory index (so foo/index.html becomes just foo).

<%= current_page.path %>
# -> index.html

<%= current_page.url %>
# -> /
