Re: Retrieving the date of processing

Hello all,

For a (docbook) project of mine, it would be practical to fill the content of 
an element with the date of when the actual processing took place. I have a 
vague memory of an old (probably outdated) book which mentioned an XSL 
function which returned just that. Judging from google's empty answers, I'm 
rambling. Is there such a function, or can my problem be solved in some other 
elegant way?


Cheers,

                      Frans

I wrote a Perl script to produce date information in the form of an
XML document (see: http://xobjex.com/cgi-bin/date.pl). I use:

<xsl:variable 
  name="date" 
  select="document('http://xobjex.com/cgi-bin/date.pl')/date"/>

whenever I need a date/time stamp. I will post the source (~40 lines)
upon request.
