Syntax:

string = local-name(node)

The local-name function returns the local part of a qname (or an empty string if there is no local name). A qname is composed of an optional prefix, a colon that must be present if there is a prefix, followed by the local name. The local name is dependent on node type. The node argument is optional. If omitted, the default is to use the context node.
