Summary

Parameters
value The given numeric $value that needs to be formatted.

The picture string is a sequence of characters, in which the characters represent variables such as, decimal-separator-sign, grouping-sign, zero-digit-sign, digit-sign, pattern-separator, percent sign and per-mille-sign. For details on the format-number picture string, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#function-format-number.
