The '.' syntax
Description

Sometimes it is useful to be able to refer to the current element in an interpolation. To do this, you can use '.' rather than a path to an element in an item list. You can still use a branch specifier to indicate which tree to look at. The '.' syntax can also be used in template specifiers.

Example

Syntax: .

The current data side element

Example
