Would it make more sense to use :
<p><xsl:text>Total Amount: </xsl:text></p>
Instead of :
<p>Total Amount: </p>
These two are completely equivalent. There are two reasons for using
xsl:text
The first one is that people like to indent their stylesheets
and if you go
<p>
<xsl:text>Total Amount: </xsl:text>
</p>
<p>
Total Amount:
</p>
then the first one is still equivalent to the two above, but the second
one has changed the content of the p element adding 2 newlines and some
space characters. (Which in this case doesn't change the html rendering,
but in general, it might)
The other reason is that white space text nodes in a styelesheet are
typically ignored, which is why
<p>
<xsl:text>Total Amount: </xsl:text>
</p>
is the same as
<p><xsl:text>Total Amount: </xsl:text></p>
so if you want to add some space then you can use xsl:text as a white
space text node of xsl:text is not ignored.
<p> </p> will produce <p/>
<p><xsl:text> </xsl:text></p> will produce <p> </p>
