RE: Date expressions in XSLT 1.0

2005-05-27 02:25:37

Is there anyway to do simple date calculations?

You've pretty-well identified the two possibilities already: move to XSLT
2.0, or use the EXSLT library. (Note that many of the EXSLT routines have
portable implementations written in pure XSLT).

For example: Get tomorrow's date by adding 1 to today's date
<xsl:comment>Ideal solution</xsl:comment>
<xsl:variable name="today" select="05/26/2005" />
<xsl:value-of select="$today + 1" /


Whatever solution you adopt, processing dates will be much easier if you
store them in the international YYYY-MM-DD format.
