Visual Studio 2013: How to add file name to the output of a snippet?

I need to include the name of the file that the snippet is being inserted to the output. I looked into Code Snippet Functions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms242312%28v=vs.80%29.aspx) and the selections are limited.

Is there any way to insert the name of the file that the snippet is being inserted into to the snippet output?

You can add ${1:${TM_FILENAME_BASE}} tag in json snippet file to get file name and add it to output of snippet.

It does not seem possible to do with snippets, but it is possible with Item Templates. See this post for more information.

Maybe this could help: File Header code snippet or this one: Code Snippet Functions. In short using Declariations->Literals and Code snippet functions should resolve your problem.
