The error message seems unrelated to the code snippet shown. Are you sure you don't have a call to the format-number() function lying around somewhere?

Okay you are correct, this was me playing around late on yesterday, this error message is generated from the line. <xsl:value-of select="format-number($Miles,'Ww')"/> In actual fact, and with a clean head this morning it appears that using <xsl:number value="number($Miles)" format ="Ww"/> instead seems to work for me. I suppose this is more of a question about whether the format-number() with the Ww should work like this, or maybe dare I say it is this a bug? Great work by the way and thanks in advance for your time. Chris.

The rules for the picture string of format-number() are given at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#dt-picture-string. There's a sorry lack of examples, but you'll find plenty in my book ;-)

I've ordered your book cheaper than alternatives as well, lack of reviews on Amazon - maybe I'll be first ;) Does this substitute making a donation to the project ;) Still don't get this, tried wrapping the Ww in square brackets (like I have done on format-date format-time etc), and still same error message. If I have to wait for your book to drop through the door can you gimme the page number, or better still a sneak preview :)
