! Mechanism
2014-10-02 15:02:48 +00:00
The ''currentTiddler'' variable containes the title of the current tiddler.
The ListWidget assigns the list result to the ''currentTiddler'' variable, unless the `variable` attribute is specified.
A couple of [[Widgets]] and [[Macros]] by default apply to the tiddler according to the ''currentTiddler'' variable.
The TranscludeWidget (or WikiText `{{||TemplateTitle}}`) transcludes a tiddler without changing the ''currentTiddler'' variable.

These mechanisms together allow you to write references like `<$view field="title" format="link"/>` in TemplateTiddlers or inside the ListWidget hierarchy without explicitly specifying the tiddler that it applies to.
