Answer 1

do:

<xsl:value-of select="format-number($amt, '###,##0;(###,##0)')"/>

Answer 2

Please run the following stylesheet (with any XML source) on your processor and post the resulting code.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:variable name="num" select="-123" />

<xsl:template match="/">
    <result>
        <version><xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:version')"/></version> 
        <vendor><xsl:value-of select="system-property('xsl:vendor')"/></vendor> 
        <test><xsl:value-of select="format-number($num, '#,##0;(#,##0)')"/></test>
    </result>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
