Hello Friends,
I need to format a number with a dynamic format (is it
possible first of all
?) .
I'm doing the following
<xsl:value-of select="format-number( sum(.), '{$fmt}' )" />
and I get {$fmt}as output.
I need to get the real sum formatted according to the variable $fmt .
Does anyone knows what am I doing wrong .
Just write:
<xsl:value-of select="format-number( sum(.), $fmt )" />
Attribute value templates are used to insert an XPath expression into an
attribute value. They aren't used to insert an XPath expression into a
string literal within another XPath expression.
sum(.) is a bit odd: sum() gives a total over a node-set, and "." is a
node-set containing exactly one node.
