<!-- This Turing machine (TM) implements a string length
function. The input tape should be a string consisting
of zero or more non-blank symbols. The final tape
will contain the length of the string.
If this Turing machine processes the following input tape:
aabbcc
then it will produce the following final tape:
6
This Turing Machine Markup Language (TMML) document complies
with the DTD for TMML, which is available at
https://www.thelyonsfamily.us/turing/tmml.dtd.
This Turing machine can be executed by an XSLT stylesheet that is
available at https://www.thelyonsfamily.us/turing/utm.xsl. This stylesheet
is a Universal Turing Machine.
The following Instant Saxon command will execute the Turing machine
described by this TMML document using the utm.xsl stylesheet:
saxon string_length_tm.xml utm.xsl tape="aaabbb"
