Thanks buddy but I did just what you suggested and it
does not seem to work. Below is the code where I made
the modification. Does this not seem correct? Does
the order of attribute specification matter. I would
assume not b/c the scope is propably the same. Ideas.
Oh if you know of any good resource to read to become
more firmilar with xsl then please let me know.
<xsl:template name="detail">
<xsl:for-each select="/invoice/detail/row">
<fo:block font-size="10pt"
white-space-treatment="preserve">
<xsl:value-of select="transaction_detail"/>
</fo:block>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

That presves white space nodes during the
transformation stage although
that will have no effect on your resulting FO file
as you never have any
select expressions that would be affected by the
presence of white space
text nodes.
So (presumably) the white space that you want to
preserver _is_
preserved by your XSLT transformation and appears in
the resulting FO
file.
FO in common with HTML, CSS, TeX and many other
typesetting systems will
by default render any run of white space just as a
single word space.
If you don't want that you need to set the white
space properties on the
surrounding fo:block, there are several of them,
giving control of line
break and white space normalization but
white-space-treatment="preserve"
is probably a place to start.
