<div>
Regardless the context of XSL-FO, this is a very common XSLT matter.<br />
There is a whole bunch of functionality available if you were using XSLT2<br />
For XSLT1 you are bound to either EXSLT (<a href="http://www.exslt.org" rel="ugc">www.exslt.org</a>) if your processor allows this<br />
or some rudimentary string processing.<br />
So it would help if you told us what the XSLT processor is for this

<div>
to make it work<br />
you will need<br />
&lt;xsl:apply-templates select=&quot;time_stamp&quot;/&gt;<br />
instead of<br />
&lt;xsl:value-of select=&quot;time_stamp&quot;/&gt;
</div>


to make it work
you will need
<xsl:apply-templates select="time_stamp"/>

<xsl:value-of select="time_stamp"/>

I have an xml element such as <br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28980739-1">&lt;time_stamp&gt;11/03/2016 09:04:21&lt;/time_stamp&gt;</code></pre>
<br />
then in xsl-fo, I am fetching thsi value to display in a PDF document<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28980739-2">&lt;xsl:value-of select=&quot;time_stamp&quot;/&gt;</code></pre>
<br />
Is it possible to change the date format while displaying it. I would like to completely get rid of the time part and display the date as dd-Mmm-yyyy (eg., 11-Mar-2016)<br />
<br />
Thank you

XSL - change date format

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).
