I am writing a stylesheet which makes a conversion of a date.
ie: 1.3.2003 should become 2003.03.01
You can do this in one line:
<xsl:value-of select="
concat(
substring-after(substring-after($date,'.'),'.')
,'.',
format-number(substring-before(substring-after($date,'.'),'.'),'00')
,'.',
format-number(substring-before($date,'.'),'00')
)"/>
The only bit I think you wont already know here is format-number(),
which in this case allows you to pad with zeros to get at least 2 digits
