XSL Concepts and Practical Use: XSL Element Summary

<xsl:decimal-format>

A <xsl:decimal-format> element defines the default decimal format for number to text conversion.

<xsl:decimal-format
  name = qname 
  decimal-separator = char 
  grouping-separator = char 
  infinity = string 
  minus-sign = char 
  NaN = string 
  percent = char 
  per-mille = char 
  zero-digit = char 
  digit = char 
  pattern-separator = char />

name: An optional name that can be used to refer to this decimal format; if no name is given, this declaration sets the default decimal format
decimal-separator: The decimal separator character ("." for example)
grouping-separator: The grouping separator character (",")
infinity: The string to use to represent infinity ("Infinity")
minus-sign: The character to use to represent negative numbers ("-")
NaN: The string to use to represent "not a number" ("NaN")
percent: The percent character ("%")
per-mille: The per-mille character ("‰")
zero-digit: The character used in format strings to represent a digit where a missing digit will show as this character ("0")
digit: The character used in format strings to represent a digit where a missing digit will be absent ("#")
pattern-separator: The character used to separate format strings (";")

All of these attributes, and the operation of the format number function, are interpreted according to the Java JDK 1.1 definition of the DecimalFormat (http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/api/java.text.DecimalFormat.html) class.
