Insert current timestamp/date from XSLT stylesheet into a XML document ???

[Michael Hertz]

I am performing a XSLT stylesheet on a XML document and produce a new XML document.
How can I insert in this new XML stylesheet a tag

<currtime>..."t he current date/time"....</currtime>

where "the current date/time" above is replaced by the real current time (e.g.
12th Sep 2004 09:23:78

With xsltproc I use:
--stringparam date="`date stylesheet.xsl` "

Then you have to a xsl:param where the value is the momentary date

Its possible with extension functions..

Please try this..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:datetime= "http://exslt.org/dates-and-times"
exclude-result-prefixes="datet ime">

<xsl:template match="/">
<currtime>
<xsl:value-of select="datetim e:dateTime()" />
</currtime>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

(Tested with Xalan-J 2.6.0)

With XSLT 1.0/XPath 1.0 you need to define a global parameter e.g.
<xsl:param name="now" />
and then use processor specific means to set that parameter before you
run the transformation.
