My problem is that I want to format some numbers in an xml file in a fixed way, yet one which I can change relatively easily if need be. If we have the file problem.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <numbers> <number>22222.444444</number> <number>2.5555555</number> <number>999999.444444</number> <number>22222.444444</number> </numbers> and the file problem.xsl: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="text" /> <xsl:template match="number"> <xsl:variable name="numberFormat" select="l.000" /> <xsl:value-of select='format-number(text(), $numberFormat)' /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> the output is $ xsltproc problem.xsl problem.xml 22222 3 999999 22222 when I would have expected to see 3 dps on the numbers. I keep on having this sort of problem with xsl(t?) - there are a hundred and one good uses for it, but I end up getting completely bogged down. Any answers?
