: For some reason, the first two variable declarations work 
: fine, but the
: third one gives this error:
: pattern = '$pm-$hourMinutes' Extra illegal tokens: '$', 'hourMinutes'
: 
:      <xsl:variable name="hours" select="round($pm div 60)"/>
:      <xsl:variable name="hourMinutes" select="$hours*60"/>
:      <xsl:variable name="minutes" select="$pm-$hourMinutes"/>
