Subject: Re: Using format-number() to display French currency
From: "Joris Gillis" <roac@xxxxxxxxxx>

Tempore 17:44:43, die 07/04/2005 AD, hinc in xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx scripsit Maria Amuchastegui <mamuchastegui@xxxxxxxxxxx>:

I originally had the pattern '##&#160;##0,00 $', but I got the following
error message:
Malformed format string: ##C!##0,00C!$

The error message indicates that the format string was actually '## ##0,00 $'. This looks illegal: the space that separates the number from the currency unit is the same as the grouping separator.

Try this template: <xsl:template name="FrenchCurrency"> <xsl:value-of select="format-number(., '## ##0,00', 'FrenchDecimalFormat')"/> <xsl:text> $</xsl:text> </xsl:template>

The dollar sign stands for the Canadian dollar.

I see. I'd cConsider renaming the template...

regards,
