As a quick hack you could write a simple Java class and plug it into Xalan. It is very easy, but isn't portable (Xalan-specific). As a template:
package com.mdnotes.xalanext; public class MyXalanExtension { public String truncateMyDateFormat(String theDate) { return theDate.substring........ } } In you stylesheet: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" xmlns:myext="com.mdnotes.xalanext.MyXalanExtension" extension-element-prefixes="myext"> [..] <xsl:value-of select="myext:truncateMyDateFormat(element/@date)"/> More information here: http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensions.html On 27.03.2003 19:12:43 Jasmin Mehta wrote: > The links you have mentioned has excellent source for date time > functions.
