Stack View
The Stack view shows the current execution stack of both source and XSLT/XQuery nodes. If the view is not displayed, it can be opened from the menu.
During transformation two stacks are managed: one of source nodes being processed and the other for XSLT/XQuery nodes being processed. Oxygen XML Editor plugin shows both node types into one common stack. The source (XML) nodes are preceded by a red color icon while XSLT/XQuery nodes are preceded by a green color icon. The advantage of this approach is that you can always see the source scope on which an XSLT/XQuery instruction is executed (the last red color node on the stack). The stack is oriented upside down.
Stack View
The contextual menu contains one action: Go to, which moves the selection in the editor panel to the line containing the XSLT element that is displayed on the selected line from the view.
Stack columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| # | Order number, represents the depth of the node (0 is the stack base). |
| XML/XSLT/XQuery Node | Node from source or stylesheet document currently being processed. One particular stack node is the document root, noted as #document. |
| Attributes | Attributes of the node (a list of id="value" pairs).
|
| Resource | Resource file where the node is located. |
Important
- Clicking a record from the stack highlights that node's location inside resource.
- Using Saxon, the stylesheet elements are qualified with XSL proxy, while using Xalan
you
only see their names. (example:
xsl:templateusing Saxon andtemplateusing Xalan). - Only the Saxon processor shows element attributes.
- The Xalan processor shows also the built-in rules.
