RE: [xsl] RE: Problem with date:add

["Andrew Smith" <andrew.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is what I'm beginning to think as well. I've tried googling for
different things about people having problems with it but I can't find
anything that helps.

That page you linked to didn't seem to mention the date: functions
though so I'm not sure if that would help. I'm not too sure it'd be
allowed to be installed.

Thanks for your help, but I'm beginning to think this is going to be
filed under 'Postponed Indefinitely' and just use a simple manually
maintained tag to keep track of it.

Thanks again,
Andy

on that input with the referenced stylesheet, saxon gives


$ saxon date.xml date-add.xsl
<p>2006-03-19T10:17:00</p>


so it looks perhaps like an msxml4 problem?

An alternative would be to use exslt for msxml4 which would have date
arithmetic built in as extrenal functions rather than using teh template
versions.

Not tried that though.
