Description

The fn:format-dateTime function formats $value as a string using the picture string specified by $picture, the calendar specified by the $calendar argument, the language specified by the $language argument, and the country specified by the $country argument. The syntax of the picture string is described in section 16.5.1 of the XSLT 2.0 recommendation. Although the last three arguments are optional, if you specify one you must specify all three (but you can pass the empty sequence.) Note: this is an XSLT-only function; it is not available in XQuery or XPath.
