Formatting Dates and Times

He Folks,

is there a a way to format the Date and Time shown in the example? I use MSXSL to create a 
Table from a given item list. 

[InputSource]

        <item>
                <Start_Date>25.04.1998 0:00:00</Start_Date>
                <Start_Time>30.12.1899 18:00:00</Start_Time>
                <End_Date>25.04.1998 0:00:00</End_Date>
                <End_Time>30.12.1899 21:00:00</End_Time>
                <Subject>Jugendstunde</Subject>
                <Description></Description>
                <Categories>Regelm&auml;&szlig;ig;Sch&ouml;neberg</Categories>
                <Location>Jugendraum</Location>
        </item>

[Output right now]
<TD VALIGN="center">25.04.1998 0:00:00</TD>


I am stuck with the Date and Time right now. I would need to spit out only the Date.

Any hints are welcome.

Volker
