   I know this is a very basic, dumb question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. Probably using the wrong keywords... For example:

   What tag displays the name of the logged-in user?

   Where can I find a list of these tags?

   Thanks t31os!

   I needed it to prefill form fields in a plugin. I had to put this in the preceding php:

   global $current_user;
   get_currentuserinfo();

   And then this in the form:

   <input value="<?php echo $current_user->user_firstname; ?>">

   A little more complicated than I'd hoped, but it works.

   First link via google... ;) Quicker then trying to search the codex (seems to be lacking a proper search right now).
