Stylus Studio Version: 6
XSLT processors tried: Saxon 6 and In Built

I am using a simple concat function in the stylesheet.
This function runs fine during the initial section of stylesheet.
However further down in the same stylesheet it stops working.

<nodeABC id="concat('Amount-',$countValue)">
..
</nodeABC>

Where $countValue is a global variable.

Size of stylesheet = 32 KB.

Any ideas ?

What does it mean "it stops working"?
Do you get an error? do you get an unexpected result?
Are you sure that $countValue evaluates always to a value?

No error returned.
Concat function itself stops working.
Doesnt matter what you concat...variables or simple text.

The output will simply say

<item id="concat($count,'amount')">

instead of

..
<item id="234amount">
...

As I said before...this works fine in the upper part of the stylesheet. Few lines below, it stops working...

Forgot to mention.
I downloaded the latest version of Stylus Studio from your website.

The error persist.

"concat" is an xpath function, it doesn't get evaluated in any context you put it. What you wrote is just a simple XML fragment.

Change your code to use curly braces {} like that

<nodeABC id="{concat('Amount-',$countValue)}">
..
</nodeABC>
