Thanks! (The xsl:decimal-format needs to be top level.)

you need to give the format-number() function a third argument,<br />
which is a string, name of a &lt;xsl:decimal-format&gt; element (top-level)<br />
<br />
eg. &lt;xsl:decimal-format name=&quot;myDecFormat&quot; &nbsp;decimal-separator=&quot;,&quot; grouping-separator=&quot;.&quot;/&gt;<br />
<br />
then format-number(1228.3, '#.###,00', 'myDecFormat')<br />
<br />
cheers

We use a different notation for numbers. The comma is used for decimals, the point for thousands, like #.###,00. If I use this with format-number in XSL-FO, FOP generates an error. I get an error as well when using XSLT to generate HTML. I wonder whether this is possible at all?

Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, and social network services using a wide variety of languages and standards, including the familiar HTML, JavaScript and jQuery, ASP and ASP.NET, PHP, ColdFusion, CSS, PHP, Flex and Flash, but also the implementation of a broad list of standards including XML, WSDL, SSDL, VoiceXML and many more.

Web Languages and Standards

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).
