# Here
## `here`
Provides the current location in the document.
You can think of `here` as a low-level building block that directly extracts
the current location from the active [context]. Some other functions use it
internally: For instance, `{counter.get()}` is equivalent to
`{counter.at(here())}`.
Within show rules on [locatable]($location/#locatable) elements, `{here()}`
will match the location of the shown element.
If you want to display the current page number, refer to the documentation
of the [`counter`] type. While `here` can be used to determine the physical
page number, typically you want the logical page number that may, for
instance, have been reset after a preface.
# Examples
Determining the current position in the document in combination with the
[`position`]($location.position) method:
```example
#context [
I am located at
#here().position()
]
```
Running a [query] for elements before the current position:
```example
= Introduction
= Background
There are
#context query(
selector(heading).before(here())
).len()
headings before me.
= Conclusion
```
Refer to the [`selector`] type for more details on before/after selectors.
## Returns
- location
