that defines the characters and symbols that are to be used in converting numbers into strings. The various names within the block are
identical to the XSLT attributes.

Examples
A simple example to define the format of numbers: the thousands separator and decimal separator.
stylesheet {
version "1.0"
decimal-format decName {
decimal-separator ","
grouping-separator "."
}
}
compiles to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<stylesheet
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<decimal-format
name="decName"
decimal-separator=","
grouping-separator="."/>
</stylesheet>
Errors
Forgetting the name:
stylesheet {
version "1.0"
decimal-format {
decimal-separator "."
grouping-separator "."
}
}
will give
**** (115) Expected name after "decimal-format" in line 4
Insert name.
Having an empty expression:
stylesheet {
version "1.0"
decimal-format decName {
decimal-separator "."
grouping-separator ""
}
}
will give
**** (140) Null string instead of "single character" in "grouping-separator" in line 6
Check string expression.
Leaving out the expected expression completely:
stylesheet {
version "1.0"
decimal-format {
decimal-separator
grouping-separator ","
}
}
will give
**** (139) Found unexpected reserved word "grouping-separator" in "decimal-separator" in line 6
Check spelling.
