How can we format the date in xslt ?

Example:

<xsl:value-of select ="name of function(I/P, 'MMM dd, yyyy')"/>

Answer 1

This will probably help: ms:format-date Function

Using the example from the article you can format a date as follows:

Date Unedited: 2000-02-16T15:56:00

Date Edited: Feb 16, 2000

Answer 2

If you are using XSLT 1.0, you might find the date formatting features in EXSLT - Date and Times useful, in particular format-date. If you are using XSLT 2.0, you can use the built-in function described in Formatting Dates and Times.
