RE: [xsl] please help with date formatting

[Jeff Beadle <Jbeadle@xxxxxxxx>]

If you're using msxml 4.0 you can use some of the new msxslt extensions,
namely:  msxsl:format-date(), where
xmlns:msxsl="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt".

Here's the usage:

   <xsl:value-of select="msxsl:format-date( . , 'MMM dd, yyyy')"/>

In your case:

   <TD valign="top" align="left" class="NormalBlackLimeBG">
      <xsl:value-of select="msxsl:format-date(
				dav:propstat/dav:prop/office:StartDate,
				'ddd, MMM. dd')"/>
   </TD>   

HTH,
Jeff

Subject: [xsl] please help with date formatting


I'm just not getting this. I'm pulling a startdate value from a document
using a vbscript query and when I output it in XSL it appears like this:

2002-12-25T12:00:00.000

I need it to look like this: Wed, Dec. 25

I'm going in circles, I can't get it to work using vbscript functions to
xsl, can't use xsl to format it, I don't know what to do and its driving me
crazy. This particular sharepoint stylesheet uses these namespaces:

<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="uri:xsl"
xmlns:dav="DAV:"
xmlns:office="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:attributes="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:publishing:"
xmlns:fulltext="urn:schemas.microsoft.com:fulltextqueryinfo:">

This is my XSL code that is generating the date:

<TD valign="top" align="left" class="NormalBlackLimeBG">
<xsl:value-of select="dav:propstat/dav:prop/office:StartDate"/>
</TD>
