The xsl:decimal-format element defines a pattern by which the XPath format-number() function can convert floating-point numbers into text strings. The attributes are specified as follows:

grouping-separator

NaN

The character that represents a percent; % by default.

per-mille

The character that represents a per mille; #x2030 by default.
