Ahh yes - sorry this is a known problem and I should've released an
updated version by now...

Normally the XML parser normalizes line endings #xD #xA (return +
newline) to a single newline #xA... but the unparsed-text() function
doesn't, so you need to changed the $lines variable to be:

<xsl:variable name="lines" select="tokenize($csv, '&#xD;&#xA;')"
as="xs:string+"/>

(I've added &#xD;)

I'm not sure that "fix" will work for all OS's as I'm not sure they
all have \r\n as line endings... maybe someone can provide the
cross-platform solution to this?


thanks
