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.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:decimal-format name="euro"
decimal-separator="," grouping-separator="."/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of
select="format-number(26825.8, '#,###.00', 'euro')"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
