When you are debugging XSLT, you can set preferences for filtering
built-in template rules and stepping node-by-node.
Selecting Window > Preferences from
the workbench menu bar opens the Preferences dialog
box. In this dialog box, you can choose the Run/Debug node
to set a variety of debug preferences and you can choose other nodes that
affect the general behavior of the workbench. You can expand the Run/Debug node
and choose XSLT Debug to set the following preferences
for debugging XSL transformations:
- Filtering built-in template rules when stepping: When the Filter
built-in template rules when stepping check box is selected, the
debugger will not step in the built-in template rules (stack frames for built-in
template rules will, however, display in the Debug view).
When this check box is deselected, the debugger will step in built-in template
rules.
By default, the debugger will not step in built-in template
rules.
- Stepping node by node: When the Step node by
node check box is selected, the debugger will step node-by-node
(this is useful when there is more than one node on a line). When this check
box is deselected, the debugger will step line by line.
By default,
the debugger steps line-by-line.
