Hi Nuri, > BUT I know on Xalan 1.2.2 the comma worked correctly in that it > meant to use the thousands separator of the platform and not literal > meaning. The meaning of characters in the format pattern you give as the second argument to format-number() (e.g. '0', '#', ',', '.') are defined by a decimal format. If you don't give a third argument for the format-number() function then it should interpret the format pattern according to the default decimal format. The default decimal format defines a ',' (comma) as the grouping separator and a '.' (period) as the decimal separator. So whatever platform you're on, whatever internationalisation settings you've got set, if you do: format-number(1234, '#,##0') you should get '1,234'. If you want to use different separators in a number, then you have to *both* change the format pattern that you use as the second argument of format-number() *and* change the decimal format that it uses. For example, you could define a Turkish decimal format: <xsl:decimal-format name="Turkish" grouping-separator="." /> and then call format-number() explicitly referencing that decimal format: format-number(1234, '#.##0', 'Turkish') to get '1.234'. Alternatively, you could redeclare the default decimal format to use whatever separators you like: <xsl:decimal-format grouping-separator="." /> in which case you don't need to use the third argument for format-number() to get the Turkish formatting.
