Whatbs a good mental model for remembering this?
2. Inside an <xsl:template> block, is there a function that returns the current **template-matched** node?That is what the current() function does, I am currently not sure why you first cite it and then seem to ask for another function doing the job of the current() function.I think: This relates to understanding the mental model?
My view: 'here' (.) is the current node / position in the input document tree that is being processed.
View the 'tree' in your head, and you may see the parents, siblings, children of this node (point in the document tree). Ken Holman has (had?) a good picture of this which may help. Then decide what you want to do next? When you have this model in your head comfortably, you may be happy using xsl:apply-templates to process the children of the current-node, using the xsl 'model'.
