Formatting dates using XSLT

[Sarky78]

Hi,

I am new to XML and XSLT and was wondering if there was a way of formatting a date into European date format (dd-mm-yyy), at the moment it is in US format (mm-dd-yyyy).

If possible I want to leave the XML documents that I have alone and just markup the date using the XSLT when the document is transformed.

TIA

Tony

Why not use the substring() function?

Have a look at the dates and times module of EXSLT
(

http://www.exslt.org).

In particular the format-date()
function.
