I would go with exslt if at all possible.
Thanks all! Kenny, why the above? What's the advantage there? And if
it's a superior solution, I still need a suggestion on how to actually
use it :-)
My question was prompted by a general need for this sort of formatting,
but also a specific one to do with bibliographic formatting, where you
have citations like (Doe, 1999) and where years and month-day are often
separated (as in my example), and month can either be spelled out in
full, or abbreviated.
At some point this needs be international-friendly as well so that one
can specify a language parameter can get proper output.
I understand some xslt processors have built-in support for exslt
dates-and-times, but I don't really understand the pros-and-cons of
using this as opposed to the solution Charles posted.
