format-date

[tAnd]

Hello

I have created a 1.0 stylesheet but i need the IssueDate to be in the form of YYYY-MM-DD. Now it is YYYYMMDD.
I have tried using

Code: Select all

<xsl:template match="IssueDate">

		<td>

			<xsl:value-of select="format-date(.,'[Y0001]-[M01]-[D01]')"/>

		</td>

	</xsl:template>
	

but it doesent work.

Anyone who knows what to do?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean by "it does not work" but "format-date()" is an XSLT 2.0 function:

https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#function-format-date

so you cannot use it in an XSLT 1.0 stylesheet.

Yes i figured that out. But the question is then - how should i do it in xslt 1.0?

Hi,

You need to do it the hard way using substring-before, substring-after and so on.
I found a stackoverflow post about this:
