& XSLT I've been using the date:format-date XSLT template (date.format-date.template.xsl) fo
r some time now, but just recently tried using it with some single-quoted literals in it.  I
 found that if there was only one single-quoted literal, it did fine, but if there were mult
iple literals, it failed, seeming to lump them all together as one long literal.
 
for example: 
 
EEEE dd' of 'MMMM' of 'yyyy
or
yyyy'$BG/(J'M'$B7n(J'd'$BF|(J'
 
would return something like "Wednesday 22 of MMMM of 2006" or "2006$BG/(JM$B7n(Jd$BF|(
J".
 
After about a day of trying to figure it out, I think I traced it back to changing a "2" to 
a "3" in this parameter:
 
<xsl:with-param name="pattern" select="substring($pattern, string-length($literal-value) + 3
)" /> 
 
near the bottom of this xsl:when in the <xsl:template name="date:_format-date">  template:
 
<xsl:when test='$char = "&apos;"'> 
 <xsl:choose> 
  <xsl:when test='substring($pattern, 2, 1) = "&apos;"'> 
   <xsl:text> &apos;</xsl:text>
   <xsl:call-template name="date:_format-date"> 
    <xsl:with-param name="year" select="$year" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="month" select="$month" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="day" select="$day" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="hour" select="$hour" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="minute" select="$minute" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="second" select="$second" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="timezone" select="$timezone" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="pattern" select="substring($pattern, 3)" /> 
   </xsl:call-template> 
  </xsl:when> 
  <xsl:otherwise> 
   <xsl:variable name="literal-value" select='substring-before(substring($pattern, 2), "&apo
s;")' /> 
   <xsl:value-of select="$literal-value" /> 
   <!--<br /> [char=&quot;<xsl:value-of select="$char"/>&quot;]<br />
      <br /> [$pattern=&quot;<xsl:value-of select="$pattern"/>&quot;]<br />-->
   <xsl:call-template name="date:_format-date"> 
    <xsl:with-param name="year" select="$year" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="month" select="$month" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="day" select="$day" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="hour" select="$hour" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="minute" select="$minute" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="second" select="$second" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="timezone" select="$timezone" /> 
    <xsl:with-param name="pattern" select="substring($pattern, string-length($literal-value)
 + 3)" /> 
   </xsl:call-template> 
  </xsl:otherwise> 
 </xsl:choose> 
</xsl:when> 
 
I've not tested this extensively, pretty much just with the examples I gave above, plus a fe
w variations on them.  I hope that you can add this change in to help others from getting as
 frustrated as I was with this little glitch.
