Thanks for the help. Do you have an example? I am very new to XML (just starting to learn even what a DTD is for) and am unable to get the previous suggestions to work. When I entered the "xsl:variable" solution, I got a "can not use xsl:variable there" type message. -----Original Message----- From: Gary Frederick [mailto:gary.frederick@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: June 7, 2001 2:41 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] Converting date formats Others gave the direct way to translate dates. You can also use the XSLT Standard Library http://xsltsl.sourceforge.net/ ===== I use it to print events for a calendar. The input is iCalendar converted to XML. ... <DTSTART> <param kind="TZID">CT(America/Chicago)</param> <value>20010609T090000</value> </DTSTART> The stylesheet parts are ... <xsl:call-template name="DATE"> <xsl:with-param name="this-date" select="DTSTART/value"/> </xsl:call-template> ... <xsl:template name="DATE"> <xsl:param name="this-date"/> <xsl:call-template name="dt:format-date-time"> <xsl:with-param name="year" select='substring($this-date, 1, 4)' /> <xsl:with-param name="month" select='substring($this-date, 5, 2)'/> <xsl:with-param name="day" select='substring($this-date, 7, 2)'/> <xsl:with-param name="hour" select='substring($this-date, 10, 2)'/> <xsl:with-param name="minute" select='substring($this-date, 12, 2)'/> <xsl:with-param name="second" select='substring($this-date, 14, 2)'/> <xsl:with-param name="time-zone"></xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="format" select="'%Y-%m-%dT %H:%M:%S'" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> It's overkill if you just want to convert the date. Perhaps you want to format dates in several ways...
