 * I have searched the forums and looked at the WordPress code that uses the function
   current_filter() but when I call it nothing is returned. I need to know which
   action/filter hook is currently active as I am trying to debug two plugins that
   I am developing. As background info: I have a PHP call to strip_tags() that allows
   user defined HTML tags. When the tag `<li>` is stripped I get multiple action/
   filter callbacks to my plugins. When the `<li>`tag is NOT stripped the multiple
   action/filter callbacks stop. Very weird! Something may be getting corrupted.
   I would like to know which action/filter is currently active to help in debugging.
