xs:time ? |

$picture |
xs:string |

$language |
xs:string ? |
|
$calendar |
xs:string ? |
|
$country |
xs:string ? |
|
Result |
xs:string |
Formats a time, using a format controlled by the picture string. If no language
is specified, the value is taken from the current Java locale. If the language (explicitly supplied
or defaulted) is other than "en", the system tries to locate a class named net.sf.saxon.number.Numberer_XX
where XX is the language; this class must provide methods to perform the localization. If a calendar other than
AD or ISO is specified, the result is prefixed "[Calendar: AD]" and is otherwise output as if the default
calendar were used. The country argument is currently used only when the format requests output of timezones
by name: for example with language="en", +01:00 is output as "BST" if country is "gb", or as "CET" if country
is "eu". Note that the table of timezone names is very incomplete, and that the use of timezone names is anyway
unsatisfactory because there is no knowledge of daylight-savings (summer) time.
