The <xsl:decimal-format> element defines the characters and symbols to be used when converting numbers into strings, with the format-number() function.
All countries do not use the same characters for separating the decimal part from the integer part, and for grouping digits. With the <xsl:decimal-format> element you can change special characters to other symbols.
This element is a top level element.
The format-number() function can refer to the <xsl:decimal-format> element by name.
<xsl:decimal-format name="name" decimal-separator="char" grouping-separator="char" infinity="string" minus-sign="char" NaN="string" percent="char" per-mille="char" zero-digit="char" digit="char" pattern-separator="char"/> |

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:decimal-format name="euro" decimal-separator="," grouping-separator="."/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:value-of select="format-number(26825.8, '#.###,00', 'euro')"/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Output: 26.825,80 |
