Hi All!
I have a question for the specification specialists among us:
Shouldn't these two lines produce the same output ?
Combination <xsl:value-of select="format-number
($combinationIndex,'I')"/>:
Combination <xsl:number value="$combinationIndex" format="I"/>:
Using Xalan I get these outputs:
Combination I1:
Combination I:
For some reason I get both the newly formatted and the original number when
I use the "format-number" function but only the newly formatted number when
I use <xsl:number>. Is this behaviour correct? I don't think it is, but
maybe I missed part of the specification...
So long,
Ragnar
