      <h1>xsl:decimal-format</h1>
      <p>The <code>xsl:decimal-format</code> element is used at the top level of a stylesheet to indicate a set of localisation
parameters. If the <code>xsl:decimal-format</code> element has a <code>name</code> attribute, it identifies a named format; if not, it identifies the
default format.</p>
      <p>In practice decimal formats are used only for formatting numbers using the
 <code>format-number()</code> function in XPath expressions.
For details of the attributes available, see the XSLT specification.</p>
