XSLT 2.0 How to change default formatting for numbers?

Question

In XSLT 1.0 (using Xalan), outputting the result of:

<xsl:variable name="source0" select="number(num3)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$source0"/>

was the number spelled out as 2011234. But in XSLT 2.0 (using Saxon), it shows up as 2.011234E6. I want it to always display as 2011234 in the Saxon/2.0 case.

Is there a way to set the default picture string for whenever it outputs a number?

I saw decimal-format, but that just affects picture strings, it doesn't set number formatting. I can't just throw format-number everywhere since then I'd have to check datatypes everywhere and... it would be a mess.

Answer 1

There is no way to express in XSLT 2.0 (or XSLT 1.0) that every time a number value is output it must be in a "default" format, without ussing fn:format-number() or xsl:decimal-format or op:cast or built-in type constructors. The only way that every number will be consider of some specific type is that a schema has been declared for the input (so it's a PSVI) and you run the transformation with schema-awere processor.
