Re: [xsl] how to compare dates

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

XSLT 2.0 supports a wide range of functions and operators on dates, but 
it expects them to be in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD). You can easily convert 
your dates to this format using combinations of the substring() and 
concat() functions. So something like

test="xs:date(my:format-as-ISO(ItemDueDaye) > xs:date('2000-01-01')"

On the other hand if you're using XSLT 1.0 then it's often simplest to 
convert the date 20110101 to the number 20110101 and do a numeric 
comparison.
