RE: Text output: CR LF

To output whitespace, write it as (for example):

<xsl:text>&#xd;&#xa;</xsl:text>

In any other context, a whitespace text node in the stylesheet has no effect
- even if it is written using character references such as &#xd;.

Subject: [xsl] Text output: CR LF

Hello List,

I m trying to transform an XML document into plain text using 
Saxon on a Win
XP system.
There for I defined a output element:
<xsl:output method="text" media-type="text/plain" 
encoding="iso-8859-1"/>

My problem is, that I dont get carriage returns and line 
feeds where I want
them to be (mostly I dont get them at all).

For example:
<XML>
      <NODE1>
              <NODE2>
                      <NODE3>a row</NODE3>
              </NODE2>
              <NODE2>
                      <NODE3>a row</NODE3>
              </NODE2>
      </NODE1>
</XML>

I have a template matching to 'NODE1'

  <xsl:template match="NODE1">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="//NODE2" mode="abc"/>
  </xsl:template>                        

applying over all 'NODE2' nodes. Within this node, I want 
'NODE3' as a row. 

  <xsl:template match="NODE2" mode="abc">
      <xsl:value-of select="*//NODE3"/>&#xD;
  </xsl:template>

What I get is:
a rowarow

What I want is:
a row
a row

What are I m doing wrong? Can you help me?
Thanks, Jan
