Hello everyone,
          I would like to convert a local time to GMT time using XSLT,any ideas?
The time format I want to convert is the following:

2006-06-15T11:40

Thanks in advance.

There are plenty of functions for this kind of operation in XPath 2.0. Append ":00", cast to an xs:dateTime value, then use the adjustDateTimeToTimezone function.

In 1.0 you might find something useful in the EXSLT date/time library at www.exslt.org.

If not, you can do it yourself: split the string into its components using substring(), convert to numbers, perform addition/subtraction as required, reconstitute the string.

Dear Mr Kay,
       Thanks for your quick response.I tried to convert it myself using substring but the problem is that I dont know the exact formula to make the time conversion(ie I dont know when to substract 1 hour or when to add one hour...).
       Regarding to the EXSLT or XPath functions I havent found one that makes the specific conversion from local-time to GMT time.

Thanks for the help.
