There is currently no way to do this from within an XSL sheet. I use external tools to write the desired information into a XML file and get the value into the XSL sheet by using document(): Command line frame (requires Unix toolset, Korn shell or bash): cat >time.xml <<EOF <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <time>$(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")</time> EOF saxon -o $3 $1 $2 XSL snippet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:variable name="time" select="document('time.xml')/time"/> ... This reads a nicely formatted timestamp into the $time variable. If you need year, month, day etc. separately, you could structure the time.xml file: cat >time.xml <<EOF <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <time> <year>$(date "+%Y")</year> <month>$(date "+%m")</month> ... </time> EOF <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:variable name="time" select="document('time.xml')/time"/> ... <my-year><xsl:value-of select="$time/year"/></my-year> ... Of course, if you work on Windows, creating time.xml may be a greater challenge. I installed an Unix toolset on my windows machine (the example above was developed on windows!). There are several, you might want to check out the free CYGWIN toolkit at http://www.cygwin.org . Alternatively, you can use WSH, Visual Basic, Perl or write a java program.
