RE: Using format-number() to display French currency

I originally had the pattern '## ##0,00 $', but I got the following
error message:

file:///WEB-INF/xsl/fr/0010/common/format_data.xsl; Line #19; Column #92;
XSLT E
rror (javax.xml.transform.TransformerException): java.lang.RuntimeException:
Ele
mTemplateElement error: Malformed format string: ##a##0,00a$

The dollar sign stands for the Canadian dollar.

Since you set the grouping-seperator to '&#160;', you should use that exact
character in the pattern:
'##&#160;##0,00 $'

btw, what does that dollar sign stand for? I thought the French currency was
Euro?
