[TYPO3] Retrieving TS value inside other TS code

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for your answers, but...

...that won't solve my problem. Knowing which part of the page tree  
the current page belongs to is only part of my needs. What I need is  
to know that information for each page that appears in a menu. Some  
menus will be across branches and each page needs to be identified by  
a bullet with the correct color.

Which is why one solution I can think of, is to add a category field  
to the pages table and retrieve it for each menu item with something  
like

lib.somemenu.1.NO.stdWrap2.dataWrap = <li class="{levelfield:-1,  
category, slide}">|</li>

but this means adding this field in the database and adding the field  
in the list of fields that slide ([FE][addRootLineFields] ), which I  
find more cumbersome than if I could just retrieve some value from  
the template, especially since values set for a page are  
automatically inherited by all subpages.

Any other idea anyone?

Cheers
