Re: [Exist-development] Adding number formatting functions to the util function module

[Loren C. <lor...@gm...>]

I can implement format-number http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#function-format-number

Do we want this in util or in fn (http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions)?

All I need to do is remove the three functions (number-to-string, number-to-currency-string, and number-to-percent-string) and change number-to-formatted-string to format-number and add the third optional parameter.  I just want to make sure that I place it in the correct function module.
