RE: Using format-number() to display French currency

I originally had the pattern '##&#160;##0,00 $', but I got the following
error message:

file:///WEB-INF/xsl/fr/0010/common/format_data.xsl; Line #19; Column #92;
XSLT E
rror (javax.xml.transform.TransformerException): java.lang.RuntimeException:
Ele
mTemplateElement error: Malformed format string: ##á##0,00á$ 

The dollar sign stands for the Canadian dollar.

Hi,

Tempore 17:27:27, die 07/04/2005 AD, hinc in 
xsl-list(_at_)lists(_dot_)mulberrytech(_dot_)com
scripsit Maria Amuchastegui
<mamuchastegui(_at_)to(_dot_)epost(_dot_)ca>:

I have the following data:
   <Amt type="decimal">-1245.25</Amt>
And I would like it to display as follows:
   -1 245,25 $
         <xsl:value-of select="format-number(., '## ##0,00 $', 
'FrenchDecimalFormat')"/>


Since you set the grouping-seperator to '&#160;', you should use that exact
character in the pattern:
'##&#160;##0,00 $'

btw, what does that dollar sign stand for? I thought the French currency was
Euro?

regards,
