Hello,
I have a date here:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <xsl:value-of select=" bioghist/bioghist/chronlist/chronitem/date"/>
and it has this format:ddmmyyyy

I would like to add slashes and make it look like this dd/mm/yyyy

How can I do this?
Have I got to use xpath functions?

thnx in advance :)

I don’t know, whether there are posibilities besides XPath functions, but that’s what I would try. you’ll especially need the substring() and concat() functions.
