Math function in XSL

[crazysexycrazy]

Hey i just want to calculate some numbers from my xml document. Here is my code

<Users>
<User id="001">
<User_Details>
<User_Name>John</User_Name>
<User_Number1>360</User_Number1>
<User_Number2>300</User_Number2>
<Difference>60</Difference>
</User_Details>
</User>
</Users>

How do i get my xslt to take <User_Number1> from <User_Number2> and output the difference of 60?
I'm not even sure i need <Difference>60</Difference>

Thanks, help would be appreciated.

Here is a hint:

<xsl:value-of select="/Users/User/User_Details/User_Number1 - /Users/User/User_Details/User_Number2"/>

Your actual XPath expression might be different depending on the context in which you need to place the <xsl:value-of> element.
