functx:total-months-from-duration
The total number of months in a yearMonthDuration
Description
The functx:total-months-from-duration function returns the total number of months in $duration. This function is different from the built-in fn:months-from-duration function because the latter will normalize the value and only give you the remainder number of months between 1 and 12. For example, fn:months-from-duration(xs:yearMonthDuration(“P18M”)) will return 6, while functx:total-months-from-duration(xs:yearMonthDuration(“P18M”)) will return 18. If $duration is the empty sequence, the empty sequence is returned.
