I have a date coming from database in this form:  yyyy - mm - dd
But i want to format it in my xsl document to become dd/mm/yy.

How can i achieve this.

Can anyone assist me?

 <xsl:template match="olddate">
   <date>
     <xsl:value-of select="substring(.,3,2)" />/<xsl:value-of select="substring(.,13,2)" />/<xsl:value-of select="substring(.,8,2)" />
   </date>
 </xsl:template>

substring(string, nr1, nr2) returns the substring of string, starting at nr1
with length nr2.

cheers,
Markus
