[xsl] How to implement common functionality

["Haque, Suraiya" <Suraiya dot Haque at fmr dot com>]

	I have to do some text formatting in multiple XSL files using the
same format. I would like to define this once in a central file and reuse it
in the XSL files. Right now I have the formatting implemented for each
field.

	In my XML, 10.00 is specified as +000000001000
	and I format it to 10.00 by using

	<xsl:value-of
select="format-number((number(substring(@DOLLARAMT,2)))div 100, '00.00')"/>

	I would like to define the formatting command in a central place so
that I can do something like this:

	<xsl:value-of select="convertToDecimal(@DOLLARAMT)"/>

	Is there a way to do this? Can I do this in a css file?

	Thanks,
	Suraiya
