Subject: RE: [xsl] format number with changeable currency symbol From: "Michael Kay" <mhk@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2004 10:29:47 +0100 |
XSLT 1.0 explicitly doesn't allow the currency symbol, though some implementations may let you get away with it (XSLT 1.0 specified format-number() in terms of the JDK 1.1 specifications, but implementations using a newer release of Java may "accidentally" expose facilities introduced in later JDK versions.) I would avoid trying to do this with format-number(), and do it "by hand".
