This is all very well but phone numbers aren't formatted like that - they're #####-######, or ###-####-#### And of course they all start with a '0' so can't be handled as numbers. And they're all eleven digits, not ten. And of course if they're international they don't have the zero but start with + (ie +##-####-######), sometimes given as +(0)##-####-###### to indicate both international and national. And some people actually put 00 as that's the real code for +. So that may add three digits. And actually are usually given with spaces (ie "##### ######", or "### #### ####", or "+## #### ######", or "+(0)##-####-######". Though of course 'national' in my context means UK. ;-) Which brings us back to Michael's earlier recommendation that you don't hard-code any particular national convention regarding how phone numbers should be formatted. Helpfully, Maybe, Richard. > -----Original Message----- > From: Anil Kumar Veeramalli [mailto:anil.v@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 21 December 2009 11:20 > To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [xsl] Format Phone number > > yes there is a issue with even this approach. > I am using XSL 1.0 > 1. > > <xsl:decimal-format name="phonenumber" decimal-separator="-" > grouping-separator="‑"/> > <xsl:template match="/"> > <xsl:value-of select='format-number(1234567890 div 10000, > "#‑###-####", "phonenumber")' /> > </xsl:template> > > > its returning 123-456-789 which is wrong.
