Re: [xsl] Formatting negative numbers with format-number

["M. David Peterson" <m.david@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Youre easiest solution would be to use starts-with as so:

<xsl:if test="starts-with(string($number), '-')"><xsl:value-of select="$number * -1"/></xsl:if>

or the same style using the substring-after method...

<xsl:if test="starts-with(string($number), '-')"><xsl:value-of select="concat('(', substring-after(string($number), '-'), ')')"/></xsl:if>

Either way, this should work...
