One option may be to move forward to XSLT 2.0 which offers a
format-date() function.

Subject: [xsl] date-time formatting question



I am trying to do something very simple, but I can't figure out how.

Input example:

      <text>
         <date>2003-03-15</date>
      </text>

Desired output:

      March 3, 2003

Another more complex example would be:

(2003) .... Mar 3

(The sort of thing you'd see in a formatted bibliographic reference)

I've gotten far enough to figure out that I probably need to 
use exslt 
dates-and-times templates, but the documentation is too thin 
for me (a 
non-expert) to understand how to apply.

Help, please?

Bruce
