selecting current element name in XSLT
xpath, xslt
Solution
<xsl:value-of select="name()" />
Side note: Avoid the `//` shorthand unless you absolutely have no other possibility. It seems quick and easy, but it isn't - it is computationally very expensive, and 90% of the time you don't need it.
Write a canonical replacement XPath expression whenever you can. Even something as generic as `/*/*/node` runs much faster than `//node`.
Problem
I need to output the element name which is being returned after applying the xpath expression for example ``` <xsl:for-each select="//element"> <xsl:value-of select="**{elementname}**"></xsl:value-of> <xsl:text>:</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="current()"/> <xsl:value-of /> </xsl:for-each> ``` How can i replace `{elementname}` to some xpath so that I can get the element name instead of current value
