Hi,

I have a question about formatting Real numbers.. Can I change using XSLT the number of significant digits that appear after being processed?

E.g.
If I have an XML like:

<test>
  <a>1.38543934543454</a>
</test>

I want an output that only shows:
1.3854


And I still want my XML file to contain the full precision.



Thanks,
  Prem

I don't know how to avoid rounding. Let me know if you find out!

In your xsl add this line in the top:

<xsl:decimal-format name="num"/>

Then use this:

<xsl:value-of select="format-number(test/a,'#.####', 'num')"/>

I think that's the closest I can get by now!
