Re: [xsl] emulating sprintf in XSLT

["Wegmann, Frank frank.wegmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I guess, using text value templates is a better choice regarding performance,
or...?

Another, in XSLT 3, is to use text value templates:
  <p><h4>Estimated reading time:</h4>
  <p>{$minutes} {if ($minutes eq 1) then 'minute' else 'minutes'}</p>

This requires expand-text="yes" on an XSLT element ancestor, or
xsl:expand-text="yes" on a direct element contstructor (like the p element in
the example above).
