David,
Thank you. My stylesheet isn't producing the results I want. I didn't
include that entity declaration and wondered if that could be part of the
problem. Clearly, it's not, but I wasn't sure because I didn't know why it
was there. And I couldn't find an explanation anywhere. Thanks so much for
your help.
Susan

Normally white space nodes in a stylesheet are dropped so you can indent
your xsl:template instructions without putting white space in the
result, so if you want to force a space then you need to go
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
as xsl:text is the one place where white space is not dropped.
If you are doing this a lot you could define the entity above
and just use &sp; this will expand out to the xsl:text element
before xslt starts, and so will result in a single space in the result.
