Re: [xsl] For CSV output file - should end of record marker be line feed or a carriage return from xsl

You'll stand a better chance of getting your line ends right by using
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
with the line end being represented by whatever it is on the system where
the text file containing these two lines resides. (This would be CR+LF on
Windowses, LF on Unices and CR on Mac OSs.)

Explicitly requesting CR or LF or CR+LF means that the result will not
necessarily have the intended line structure on one system or the other,
i.e., wherever you run the XSLT.

1) Currently I am using a line feed in my code at the end.  Should it be a
line feed or carriage return?  Reason I am asking is because when I open my
CSV file in NotePad or WordPad the data wraps.  But with Notes++ or Excel
the data does not wrap.  Currently using a line feed at end of my data.
Assuming it should be a carriage return.  Guessing that the data is
wrapping when I open the CSV file because it does not recognize the
carriage return or line feed but Notes++ does recognize these characters.

Should I be using a line feed in my code.  (this is what I am using now)
         <xsl:text>&#xA;</xsl:text>

Or should I be using a carriage return in my code.
 <xsl:text>&#xD;</xsl:text>
