Thanks a lot for your help, David and Mike, it works perfect!
One more little question... What could be the issues if I didn't use the
translate option but only the decimal-format and format-number?
Neil.

However, the JDK 1.1 spec for DecimalFormat is very woolly, so
anything
goes, really.
so probably a safer way to get ' rather than , for the separator is to
accept the default format but translate it ie the third line in the
result below:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:decimal-format name="foo"
grouping-separator="'" digit="#" zero-digit="0" decimal-separator="."/>
<xsl:template match="/">
: <xsl:value-of select="format-number(123456789.12,'###,###.000')"/>
: <xsl:value-of
select="format-number(123456789.12,"###'###.000",'foo')"/>
: <xsl:value-of
select="translate(format-number(123456789.12,'###,###.000'),',',"'&
quot;)"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
$ saxon fn.xsl fn.xsl
: 123,456,789.120
: 123456789###.000
: 123'456'789.120
