How do I obtain a reference to the current element in the iteration?

{{#my_array}}
    <p>{{__what_goes_here?__}}</p>
{{/my_array}}

I hope I am just overlooking the obvious.

According to the spec's changelog, the implicit iterator (.) was added in v1.1.0 of the spec. Every Mustache library that implements at least v1.1.0 should support this.

{{#array_of_strings}}<li>{{.}}</li>{{/array_of_strings}}
