Subject: Re: [xsl] Date Conversion
I need to know how to convert an attribute nodeTypeValue to a DATE
or
TIME,
since it is a STRING. In XML and XSLT.
XPath (1) does not have specific types for dates and times. You can
use
string functions such as substring and substring-before to convert
between formats such as "jan 1st 2002" and "2002-01-01" but the
details
depend on exactly what your input format and desired output formats
are.
David
