IBM Version 5 manual XSL Debugger

Moreover, the XSL debugger allows to add breakpoints to your XSL file, which facilitate the debugging process. To add a breakpoint, just double click on the line number where you want to place the breakpoint, and green ball will appear indicating that there is a breakpoint in this line. To be able to remove a breakpoint, choose the breakpoints tab in the window in the upper right hand corner shown in Figure 5-14. Just select the breakpoint you want to remove, and right-click, selecting the Remove option from the context menu.

The buttons in the Sessions window (in the top left hand corner shown in Figure 5-14) allow you to handle your debugging process. They provide features like step forward or step backward in the result document; restart the process from the beginning; run to breakpoint; and open the browser on the transformation result.

To close the XSL debugger, simply close the XSL debug perspective, or switch to any other perspective you desire.
