xsl:decimal-format Element

  • Article

Declares a decimal-format, which controls the interpretation of a format pattern used by the format-number function. If there is a name attribute, then the element declares a named decimal-format; otherwise, it declares the default decimal-format. The value of the name attribute is a QName (qualified name). It is an error to declare either the default decimal-format or a decimal-format with a given name more than once (even with different import precedence), unless it is declared every time with the same value for all attributes (taking into account any default values).

  name = QName 
  decimal-separator = char

  infinity = string 
  minus-sign = char 
  NaN = string 
  percent = char 
  per-mille = char 
  zero-digit = char 
  digit = char 
  pattern-separator = char />
