Example

Here’s a stylesheet that retrieves the implicit timezone as an xs:dayTimeDuration:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- implicit-timezone.xsl -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:output method="text"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:text>&#xA;Using the implicit-timezone() function:&#xA;&#xA;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:text>  The implicit timezone for the current context is: </xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="implicit-timezone()"/>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The stylesheet generates these results:

Using the implicit-timezone() function:

  The implicit timezone for the current context is: -PT5H

The results for Bangalore and London, respectively, look like this:

  The implicit timezone for the current context is: PT5H30M
...
  The implicit timezone for the current context is: PT0S
