XSLT <xsl:decimal-format> Element
 Complete XSLT Element Reference
Definition and Usage
The <xsl:decimal-format> element defines the characters and symbols to be
used when converting numbers into strings, with the format-number() function.
All countries do not use the same characters for separating the decimal part
from the integer part, and for grouping digits. With the <xsl:decimal-format> element
you can change special characters to other symbols.
This element is a top level element.
The format-number() function can refer to the <xsl:decimal-format> element by name.
