Excellent. I think that's what I'm looking for.
Thanks!

breaks, it needs to convert them into <br> elements.
Like many string manipulation tasks this one is easiest using 2.0:
<xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="\n">
<xsl:matching-substring><br/></xsl:matching-substring>
</
But it's not too hard in 1.0: google for "XSLT replace newline BR".

Subject: [xsl] line breaks in XML data
forgive my novice ineptitude.
I am working on a project where we would like to preserve
line breaks
that are entered into our XML database.
We are doing our XSL transformations with version 1.
If I use my XSLT to output/display this data into a <textarea>
element, the line breaks found in the database are there when
displayed.
If I output to a simple <p> element, the line breaks are gone.
How can I keep the formatting when using a <p>?
Can I use something like translate() to look for carriage return
characters?
I don't know what parser is being used for this application.
Thanks
-Jim
