Example
Here is a short stylesheet that uses the seconds-from-time()
function:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- seconds-from-time.xsl --> <xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsl:output method="text"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:text>
Extracting the seconds component from an xs:time:</xsl:text> <xsl:variable name="currentTime" as="xs:time" select="current-time()"/> <xsl:text>

 The current time is: </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="$currentTime"/> <xsl:text>

 The current seconds are: </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="seconds-from-time($currentTime)"/> <xsl:text>, 
 usually written as a whole number (</xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="format-time($currentTime, '[s01]')"/> <xsl:text>)</xsl:text> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
The stylesheet generates these results:
Extracting the seconds component from an xs:time: The current time is: 05:07:40.307-05:00 The current seconds are: 40.307, usually written as a whole number (40)
