Use the
Watch window to monitor particular variables. To display the
Watch window, click
Watch
Enter the names of the variables you want to watch. You can enter as many as you like. In a Java program, you can double-click a symbol and drag it to the Watch window to enter it as a variable you want to watch. When Stylus Studio suspends processing, it displays the current values for any variables listed in the Watch window. You can expand and collapse complex structures as needed. Another way to obtain the value for a variable is to hover over the symbol in your stylesheet or Java program. Stylus Studio displays a pop-up box that contains the current value.
During XSLT debugging, you can enter XPath expressions in the
Watch window fields. Stylus Studio uses the current context to evaluate these expressions, and displays the results with the same kind of interface Stylus Studio uses for

Watch window only when processing is suspended.
