I am using the Saxon 8.6.1 processor. I have the Max Recursion Level set to the highest level and I am getting this error message - then aborting.

I can't find documentation that explains what the recursion level is. If I knew, I could make adjustments. Please fill me in.
Thanks

Receiving that error is a symptom that your XSLT may be entering an infinite recursion loop. Are you sure that's not the underlying problem?

There was also a problem in older version of Stylus Studio that triggered that warning when running with Saxon, even if the recursion limit had not actually been hit; that has been fixed in the latest 2006 Release 2 version, that you can download and try from http://www.stylusstudio.com/download

A workaround is also described at http://www.stylusstudio.com/SSDN/default.asp?action=9&read=4757&fid=48

Hope this helps,
Minollo

I am using a version of stylus studio that I purchased in the last month. It is Home Edition 2006 build 501h

I think I need to know what Recursion Level is being exceeded so I can make adjustments. Can you tell me what this error really means?

Thanks in advance
Steve

The error means that you have exceed a safety limit on the depth of recursion your XSLT is hitting (the stack of templates invoking other templates is getting too deep). As I mentioned, that may be a real problem - your XSLT is hitting an infinite recursion loop, and you should fix the XSLT, or it may be triggered by a defect in the build you are using.

I would try using version 2006 Release 2, which fixes the defect; if the error persists, I would take a close look at the XSLT and try to understand where the problem is.

Thanks for looking at this with me.

I just installed build 501i. It looks to me like it is the most current version. Is it "version 2" mentioned above? I am still exceeding the maximum. I am not in a loop as I am watching the output and it is normal. I am most of the way through my document before I abort.

I am combining some basic templates that format XSL:FO titles and paragraph output with some fairly complicated table constructs. Individually both have worked fine. I successfully format 4 tables and most of the document before the process stops.

Are there some settings I can change? Is there another processor, other than Saxon, that is 2.0 compliant that I could try?

Steve,
please install build 591b, available from http://www.stylusstudio.com/download

501i is still 2006 release 1; you can install 591b side by side with 501i.

Thanks,
Minollo
