Willem MolSubject: stylus xml publisher and xpath

Does anyone know where to find some good indepth information for using xpath in stylus xml publisher.

For example:
Using an element "ModuleID" for a node group "Lines":
how can I say in the sort property that data-type = 'number'?

Another question for example:
How can I format the value 2007-07-07 of the node "ReleaseDate" as a proper date of xml publisher using XPath's editor?

Cheers, Willem

Another one:

Values as euro's
To format <Amount>1500</Amount> to this output: € 1.500,00
XSLT goes like this:
<xsl:decimal-format name='euro' decimal-separator=',' grouping-separator/>
<xsl:value-of select="format-number(Amount,'#.###,00','euro')/>

How can i do this in Stylus XML Publisher?

You won't be able to set the data type as part of the sort information; that limitation is being addressed in the coming new release of Stylus Studio (public in November 2007).

About the format-number() function, you will be able to use the format-number() function as part of the XPath expression associated to a dynamic value; but you won't be able co control the decimal-format instruction from inside publisher. The main reason is that decimal-format is specific to XSLT and XML Publisher is meant to be able to generate both XSLT and XQuery; the same is true for format-number really, but we have created an XQuery function that emulates that. We will consider doing the same for the decimal-format instruction as well.

Thank you very much for your explanation. I hope you will. When I think of a workaround, I will post it here.

Cheers
