Re: Date problem: StringIndexOutOfBoundsException when parsing

Hi,

actually it seems like there is a bug in the date:day-in-month
function, when I used
date:format-date it worked fine.
So, for my purposes i am all fine now, will have a look into it though
to see if I can find a solution for it.

I am using apache fop 0.93

cheers,

RJ
