What is the best way of using formate-date? I tried several alternatives, but had no
success: 1.) <xsl:value-of
select="xsl:format-date(bll:date,'YYYY-MM-DD')"/> Error: Cannot
find a matching 2-argument function named
{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform}format-date() 2.) <xsl:value-of
select="format-date(bll:date,'YYYY-MM-DD')"/> no error message,
but instead of getting some date value, I get the picture string YYYY-MM-DD 3.)
<xsl:value-of
select="fn:format-date(bll:date,'YYYY-MM-DD')"/> same result as
2. 4.) <xsl:value-of
select="date:format-date(bll:date,'yyyy-MM-dd')"/> with the
appropriate namespaces xmlns:date="http://exslt.org/dates-and-times"
extension-element-prefixes="date" defined in the xsl:stylesheet
headline. Error: Cannot find a matching 2-argument function named
{http://exslt.org/dates-and-times}format-date() I got to use saxon 8.7 because I can not
find a maven repository containing a newer version. What did I miss? Rolf

There are many examples of format-date() in the XSLT specification at
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#date-time-examples You will also find examples in my book.
Please see http://saxon.sf.net/ to see the current versions of Saxon and where you can
download them. There is no official distribution via maven. One of the main reasons for
this is that I have not found a way to distribute via maven while also meeting the
licensing conditions for various third-party software components included in Saxon,
which require that the binaries must only be distributed along with various statutory
notices. Any version of Saxon that you find being distributed via maven is
unauthorised.
