Function Package: date.date.zip Function Syntaxstring date:date(string?)
The date:date function returns the date specified in the date/time string given as the argument. If no argument is given, then the current local date/time, as returned by date:date-time is used as a default argument.
The date/time string specified as an argument must be a string in the format defined as the lexical representation of xs:dateTime in [3.2.7 dateTime] of [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes]. If the argument is not in this format, date:date returns an empty string ('').
The date/time format is basically CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss, although implementers should consult [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes] and [ISO 8601] for details.
The date is returned as a string with a lexical representation as defined for xs:date in [3.2.9 date] of [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes].
The date format is basically CCYY-MM-DD, although implementers should consult [XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes] and [ISO 8601] for details.
If no argument is given or the argument date/time specifies a time zone, then the date string format must include a time zone, either a Z to indicate Coordinated Universal Time or a + or - followed by the difference between the difference from UTC represented as hh:mm. If an argument is specified and it does not specify a time zone, then the date string format must not include a time zone.
An implementation of this extension
function
in the EXSLT date namespace must conform to the behaviour described in this document.
ImplementationsNo XSLT processors that we know of have built-in support for date:date. There are currently no third-party implementations of date:date. Change HistorySubmitted: 2001-05-12
