My apologies then. I started using EXSLT after about a week or 2 of using XSL. I know some of the things can be quite cryptic, but I found it to be a good learning experience to try and understand it. If you will be using XSL frequently and don't have a copy of XSLT Programmer's Reference by Michael Kay, I highly recommend getting it(2nd edition). I've found it easier to understand new XSL material when I can refer to the book. -Kenny -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bruce D'Arcus Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 10:51 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] date-time formatting question On Feb 3, 2004, at 8:07 PM, Kenny Akridge wrote: > Actually, for getting the month name, you probably will have to write a > template.

The documentation and categorization > is pretty decent. I don't find the documentation at all decent for my needs. If I go here for example: http://www.exslt.org/date/functions/month-abbreviation/index.html ...all I see is this: ================== Template Syntax <xsl:call-template name="date:month-abbreviation"> <xsl:with-param name="date-time" select="string" />? </xsl:call-template> The date:month-abbreviation function returns the abbreviation of the month of a date. If no argument is given, then the current local date/time, as returned by date:date-time is used the default argument. ================== I'm a beginner (and someone with otherwise no coding background), and the above makes no sense to me. What I need is an example that actually works. As a general point, then, it would be really helpful if these exslt pages could just provide the most minimal of working examples in the documentation.
