Re: Ensuring two digits in EXSLT produced time fields

Looking at the code again, it looks like this should work:

<?dbtimestamp format="B d, Y" padding="0"?>

The padding is 1 by default. The padding value applies to hour and minute
as well as date, so it would be best to use separate dbtimestamp PIs if you
need both date and time and want different padding behavior.

On that note, is there any way to make the "day of the month" value drop
the leading '0'?

I use <?dbtimestamp format='B d, Y'?> and I get something like 'March
07, 2007' which seems a bit crude. I would like to see 'March 7, 2007'

Actually, the stylesheets have a processing instruction named
dbtimestamp
that does that. The "M" format letter automatically inserts the leading

zero if the minute number is less than 10. See:
