RE: element to root

Am I right in guessing that your task is to insert a newline before a <br>
element?

If I'm right then you just do

<xsl:template match="*">
  <xsl:copy>
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="br">
  <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
  <xsl:copy>
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
