XSLT current() Function
Complete XSLT Function Reference Object
Definition and Usage
The current() function returns a node-set containing only the current node. Usually, the current node is the same as the context node.
<xsl:value-of select="current()"/>
equals
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
However, there is one difference. Let's look at the following XPath expression: "catalog/cd". The expression selects the child nodes of the current node, then selects the child nodes of the node. This means that "." has a different meaning at each step of the calculation.
This line:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//cd[@title=current()/@ref]"/>
will process all elements whose title attribute value equals the ref attribute value of the current node.
Different from this:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//cd[@title=./@ref]"/>
This will process all elements with title and ref attributes having the same value.
Syntax
node-set current()
