XBL or other option to format numbers in output

Hi Jens,

Right now you can put an xf:output inside an xf:select1/xf:item/xf:label, but you can't put an XBL control that embeds an xf:output, which is a limitation we might be able to raise. For now, if you just need to do this for a dropdown, you could make your component contain a dropdown that does the formatting. Is this something that could work for you?

Hey there!

I want to make a more or specific function to format output of numbers which might -- or might not ;-) --  have a floating point part.

E.g. we have the following values, the specified format is given inside the round brackets):
* 62 (=> 62 €)
* 2581.97 (=> 2.581,97 €)
* -2.561 (=> -2,56 €)

So I tried to build a modified output myxbl:output (see below).

The values will be shown not only as trivial output with labels but also inside xforms:select1 etc.
The problem is: I get an error as soon as I use the custom XBL-rule inside an xforms:select1 i.e. as a part of the label of an xforms:item/xforms:itemset inside xforms:select1. The warning is "Nested XHTML or XForms not allowed within element: label" (even though I don't use any label: <myxbl:output-price ref="price"/>)
In fact I would have liked it better to define a global format in a properties file and use a specific type or to use an self-defined function (compare to XSLT3/XPath) - bit orbeon doesn't seem to support this.
Additionally it seems I can't access any attributes of the custom XBL-element

With the XBL I still miss some options:
- Add static text as prefix and postfix to the formatted string (e.g. by adding an attribute to <myxbl:output-price pre="$name (available at " post=")"/> yielding an output like 'Boattrip (available at 1.254,97 €)'
- Use the "syntactic magic" of <xf:output ref="$price" value=". * 1.25"/> is not possible

Is there any option to get around this, enhance my faulty implementation or even to build a better solution?

Thanks again for any help,

Jens
