## Description

### Function: xslHandleDebugger

    void	xslHandleDebugger		(xmlNodePtr cur,
    					 xmlNodePtr node,
    					 xsltTemplatePtr templ,
    					 xsltTransformContextPtr ctxt)

If either cur or node are a breakpoint, or xslDebugStatus in state where debugging must occcur at this time then transfer control to the xslDebugBreak function

`cur`: | source node being executed
`node`: | data node being processed
`templ`: | temlate that applies to node
`ctxt`: | the xslt transform context

### Function: xsltApplyImports

    void	xsltApplyImports		(xsltTransformContextPtr ctxt,
    					 xmlNodePtr contextNode,
    					 xmlNodePtr inst,
    					 xsltElemPreCompPtr comp)

Process the XSLT apply-imports element.

`ctxt`: | an XSLT transformation context
`contextNode`: | the current node in the source tree.
`inst`: | the element node of the XSLT 'apply-imports' instruction
`comp`: | the compiled instruction

### Function: xsltApplyOneTemplate

    void	xsltApplyOneTemplate		(xsltTransformContextPtr ctxt,
    					 xmlNodePtr contextNode,
    					 xmlNodePtr list,
    					 xsltTemplatePtr templ,
    					 xsltStackElemPtr params)

Processes a sequence constructor on the current node in the source tree. @params are the already computed variable stack items; this function pushes them on the variable stack, and pops them before exiting; it's left to the caller to free or reuse @params afterwards. The initial states of the variable stack will always be restored before this function exits. NOTE that this does *not* initiate a new distinct variable scope; i.e. variables already on the stack are visible to the process. The caller's side needs to start a new variable scope if needed (e.g. in exsl:function). @templ is obsolete and not used anymore (e.g. <exslt:function> does not provide a @templ); a non-NULL @templ might raise an error in the future. BIG NOTE: This function is not intended to process the content of an xsl:template; it does not expect xsl:param instructions in @list and will report errors if found. Called by: - xsltEvalVariable() (variables.c) - exsltFuncFunctionFunction() (libexsl/functions.c)
