The <<.def currentTab>> [[variable|Variables]] contains the title of the current tab within an enclosing set of tabs generated by the [[tabs Macro]].
When a tiddler is [[transcluded|Transclusion]] within a tab, any use of the [[currentTiddler Variable]] will point to the tiddler containing the [[tabs Macro]] call. This may lead to surprises if the transcluded tiddler was originally written to display by itself in the [[Story River]] in ways that rely on self-reference. The currentTab macro enables a similar effect to currentTiddler for the special case of a tiddler rendered as a tab.
Compare <<.vlink currentTiddler>>.
