Example

Given the XML instance document, links.xml :

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>  <links>       <link name="NewRiders.com" lastevaluated="2001-09-08T19:01:55"/>  </links>

The following stylesheet would parse the last evaluated attribute to display in mm/dd/yyyy format:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>  <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">       <xsl:template name="sqlserver_date">            <xsl:param name="date" />            <xsl:value-of select="substring($date, 6, 2)" />            <xsl:text>/</xsl:text>            <xsl:value-of select="substring($date, 9, 2)" />            <xsl:text>/</xsl:text>            <xsl:value-of select="substring($date, 1, 4)" />       </xsl:template>      <xsl:template match="/">            <xsl:apply-templates select="links/link" />       </xsl:template>       <xsl:template match="link">            <tr>                <td>                      <xsl:call-template name="sqlserver_date">                           <xsl:with-param name="date">                                <xsl:value-of select="@lastevaluated" />                           </xsl:with-param>                      </xsl:call-template>                 </td>            </tr>       </xsl:template>  </xsl:stylesheet>

This results in the following output:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?><tr><td>09/08/2001</td></tr>
