RE: [xsl] what's the best way to do this

[Roelof Wobben <rwobben@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oke,

So I have to do this :

<xsl: template match="menu">
   <div id="firstpane" class="menu_list">
       <xsl:apply-templates select="year">
   </div>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="year">
      <p class="menu_head">@value</p>
          <div class="menu_body">
              <xsl:apply-templates select="month">
          </div>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="month">
      <a href=""#"> februari </a>
</xsl:template>


For the converting I use this file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<!--
Description:
This is a date formatting utility. The named template "format-date" takes 2
parameters:
1. date - [required] takes an ISO date (2005-12-01)
2. format - [optional] takes a format string.
Format options:
Y - year in 4 digits e.g. 1981, 1992, 2008
y - year in 2 digits e.g. 81, 92, 08
M - month as a full word e.g. January, March, September
m - month in 3 letters e.g. Jan, Mar, Sep
N - month in digits without leading zero
n - month in digits with leading zero
D - day with suffix and no leading zero e.g. 1st, 23rd
d - day in digits with leading zero e.g. 01, 09, 12, 25
x - day in digits with no leading zero e.g. 1, 9, 12, 25
T - time in 24-hours e.g. 18:30
t - time in 12-hours e.g. 6:30pm
W - weekday as a full word e.g. Monday, Tuesday
w - weekday in 3 letters e.g. Mon, Tue, Wed
Examples:
M       => January
d M     => 21 September
m D, y  => Sep 21st, 81
n-d-y   => 09-21-81
d/n/y   => 21/09/81
d/n/y t => 21/09/81 6:30pm
