The ''currentTiddler'' [[variable|Variables]] contains the title of the current tiddler. 

!! Usage

Various [[Widgets]] and [[Macros]] are by default applied with respect to the tiddler referenced via ''currentTiddler''. Within the [[ListWidget]] or TemplateTiddlers you are thus often not required to specify the tiddler title.

The following two examples are thus equivalent...

* `<$view field=title/>`
* `<$view field=title tiddler=<<currentTiddler>>/>`

;TranscludeWidget
: when [[transcluding|Transclusion]] a tiddler, ''currentTiddler'' is set to the tiddler being transcluded,
: e.g. when using the [[WikiText shorthand|Transclusion in WikiText]]: `{{||TemplateTiddlerTitle}}`
; ListWidget
: overrides the ''currentTiddler'' variable with the currently iterated list-item,
: unless a custom `variable` attribute is specified
; TiddlerWidget
: sets the ''currentTiddler'' variable for its inner scope

!! Example

```
<$view tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> field=title/>
```

<<<
<$view tiddler=<<currentTiddler>> field=title/>
<<<

!! Other Standard Variables

* [[WidgetVariable: storyTiddler]]
* [[WidgetVariable: transclusion]]
