Write out or return the current context.

@signature `this`

Writes out or returns the current context.

```html
{{#each(names)}}{{this}} {{/each}}
{{#each(names)}}
	{{sanitize(this)}}
{{/each}}
```


@signature `.`

  The same as writing `this`, but with 3 fewer characters!

  ```html
  {{#each(names)}}{{.}} {{/each}}
  {{#each(names)}}
  	{{sanitize(.)}}
  {{/each}}
  ```

@body

## Use


To write out the current context, write `{{.}}` or `{{this}}`. For example,
a template like:

```html
{{#each(names)}}{{this}} {{/each}}
```

With data like:

```js
{ names: [ "Jan", "Mark", "Andrew" ] }
```

Will write out:

```html
Jan Mark Andrew
```
