Re: format-number

I need to format a number with a dynamic format (is it possible first of all
?) .
I'm doing the following
<xsl:value-of select="format-number( sum(.), '{$fmt}' )" />
and I get {$fmt}as output.
I need to get the real sum formatted according to the variable $fmt .
<xsl:value-of select="format-number( sum(.), $fmt )" />

Does anyone knows what am I doing wrong .
Only very few instructions support attribute value templates and <xsl:value-of> isn't one of them.

Fortunately the argument just needs a string and you have a string variable, so just pass the variable.

I hope this helps.
