format-number rounding error
Hi, I am trying to generate PDF using FOP. But I got a rounding error when using the following fo script fo:block xsl:value-of select=format-number(0.5,'0')/ /fo:block The result from fop is 0 instead of 1 Is this a bug? How do we get around of it? Thanks LZ __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I think what you need is: xsl:value-of select=format-number(0.5,'#,##0.0')/ snip/ Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You will get better answers on the xsl-list: http://lists.mulberrytech.com/xsl-list/ I use other formatter, the result is ok. Its the XSLT processor that is responsible for the format-number() function, FOP uses Xalan by default. What XSLT processor is this other formatter using? snip/ Chris - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You will get better answers on the xsl-list: Hi, A pure XSLT question indeed, but I'm wondering why the OP doesn't simply use the round() function (which does *exactly* what he needs) Cheers, Andreas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
