Hi,

Use the format-number() function as suggested in your posting subject, e.g.

If you want 4 fixed decimal places...
  <xsl:value-of select="format-number(LastPrice,'0.0000')" />

If you want a maximum of 4 decimal places...

  <xsl:value-of select="format-number(LastPrice,'0.####')" />

However, this will round to the nearest, i.e. 1.1234999999999 will be shown
as 1.1235
So if you want to always round down you will have to floor it yourself, e.g.
  <xsl:value-of select="format-number(floor(LastPrice * 10000) div
10000,'0.0000')" />
