xsl comment not appearing

[sbutt]

I am trying to get xsl comments on my XMLSpy XSLT output console, but the comment is not appearing. My xslt script is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05" xmlns:ota="http://www.opentravel.org/OTA/2003/05" exclude-result-prefixes="ota xsl">	<xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" version="2.0" method="xml"/>	<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>	<xsl:variable name="no_of_adult_persons" select="count(//ota:PassengerListItems/ota:PassengerListItem[@Code = '10'])"/>	<xsl:variable name="adult_persons_prices">		<xsl:call-template name="adult">			<xsl:with-param name="nodelist_adult" select="//ota:PassengerListItems/ota:PassengerListItem[@Code = '10']"/>			<xsl:with-param name="nodelist" select="//ota:CostingItem"/>		</xsl:call-template>	</xsl:variable>	<xsl:template name="adult">		<xsl:param name="nodelist_adult"/>		<xsl:param name="nodelist"/>		<xsl:param name="counter">1</xsl:param>		<xsl:param name="sum">0.00</xsl:param>		<xsl:variable name="rph" select="$nodelist_adult[$counter]/@RPH"/>		<xsl:comment>			<xsl:value-of select="count($nodelist_adult)"/>		</xsl:comment>		<xsl:comment>			<xsl:value-of select="count($nodelist)"/>		</xsl:comment>		<xsl:comment>			<xsl:value-of select="$counter"/>		</xsl:comment>		<xsl:comment>			<xsl:value-of select="$sum"/>		</xsl:comment>		<xsl:comment>			<xsl:value-of select="$nodelist_adult[$counter]/@RPH"/>		</xsl:comment>		<xsl:comment>=============================</xsl:comment>		<xsl:variable name="sum_temp">			<xsl:value-of select="$sum + $nodelist[$counter]/ota:UnitCost/@Amount"/>		</xsl:variable>		<xsl:choose>			<xsl:when test="$counter < count($nodelist_adult)">				<xsl:call-template name="adult">					<xsl:with-param name="nodelist_adult" select="$nodelist_adult"/>					<xsl:with-param name="nodelist" select="$nodelist"/>					<xsl:with-param name="counter" select="$counter + 1"/>					<xsl:with-param name="sum" select="$sum_temp"/>				</xsl:call-template>			</xsl:when>			<xsl:otherwise>				<xsl:value-of select="$sum_temp"/>			</xsl:otherwise>		</xsl:choose>	</xsl:template></xsl:stylesheet>

Does this console print the text of the output? Just asking... some consoles assume (X)HTML ouptut, and treat the output like that. If you can see any element names, then that shouldn't be the problem.Also, are you sure your template is executed? I see it output nothing but comments... Try this for debugging's sake:

	<xsl:template name="adult">		<xsl:param name="nodelist_adult"/>		<xsl:param name="nodelist"/>		<xsl:param name="counter">1</xsl:param>		<xsl:param name="sum">0.00</xsl:param>		<xsl:variable name="rph" select="$nodelist_adult[$counter]/@RPH"/>		<h1>This text must NOT be visualized as a heading</h1>

And see what's in the ouptut console.
