You can use the dot operator (.) in XSL transformation stylesheets to refer to, effectively, "whatever element was just identified."
Let's say you had this template in a stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="dialog/title">
Say you also wanted such elements to be converted to dialogTitle elements. You could do it by fleshing out your template like this:
<xsl:template match="dialog/title">
<dialogTitle>
<xsl:value-of select=".">
</dialogTitle>
Note that the dot has to be in quotes. Here it refers to the title element inside the dialog element.

You must accumulate 10 acceptable tips to receive payment. Be sure to include a clear explanation of what the technique does and why it's useful.
