For a (docbook) project of mine, it would be practical to fill the content of an element with the date of when the actual processing took place. I have a vague memory of an old (probably outdated) book which mentioned an XSL function which returned just that. Judging from google's empty answers, I'm rambling. Is there such a function, or can my problem be solved in some other elegant way?

Here's the relevant parts from my XSL stylesheet.

<xsl:stylesheet version='1.0' xmlns:xsl='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' xmlns:fo='http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format' xmlns:fox='http://xml.apache.org/fop/extensions' xmlns:date='java.util.Date' xmlns:format='java.text.SimpleDateFormat' exclude-result-prefixes='date'>

[...]

<fo:static-content flow-name="xsl-region-after"> <fo:block text-align="right" space-after="0.75in" end-indent="1.0in" font-size="8pt"> <xsl:variable name="pattern">yyyy-MM-dd</xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="SimpleDateFormat" select="format:new($pattern)"/> <xsl:variable name="Date" select="date:new()"/> Draft date: <xsl:value-of select="format:format($SimpleDateFormat, $Date)"/> </fo:block> </fo:static-content>
