Re: [Accumulators] Another stupid question

Hello !

I have another question with accumulators. I use accumulators to
calculate block height, and then to calculate block locations (y).

I have this XSL for a repro...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

 B B B B B  </xsl:document>
 B B B  </xsl:variable>
 B B B  <xsl:apply-templates select="$content"/>
 B  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

When I run this XSL on the sample XML, I have messages displayed :
"Reset block height to 3.2", "private:block matched", but never the
"Adding block height..."

According to specification [1], I expect private:block matches
accumulator rule, and accumulator value being augmented by block/@height.

What am I doing wrong ?

I wonder whether you have a node in a "tree" to which accumulators
apply. With the "as" attribute on
  <xsl:variable name="TempTree" as="element(private:block)">
I am not sure the element is part of a tree.
