The currentTab variable contains the title of the current tab within an enclosing set of tabs generated by the tabs Macro.
When a tiddler is transcluded 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.
