You need to refresh your HTML knowledge. In HTML, any sequence of whitespace
characters is displayed by the browser as a single space. If you want to
display a newline, you need a <br/> element. Alternatively, you can output
preformatted text using the <pre> element, or you can set CSS properties
that cause whitespace to be displayed "as is".
If you want to convert the newline characters to <br/> elements, google for
"XSLT convert newline to br".

Subject: [xsl] Stripping white space ? How do I get new line back
Hello Xsl-list,
Using Xml v1.0 1 Xsl V1.0
How do I get line break (new line) back?
My Source Xml (From a database)
<table>
<row ... output="litAP1WhyIJoined" content="... and
I'll get my car keys.

Once I have had a
report from..."/>
...
</table>
Xsl Transform
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transit
ional.dtd"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
indent="yes" standalone="yes" />
...
<p><xsl:value-of
select="./row[(_at_)output='litAP1WhyIJoined']/@content" /></p>
...
Transform works OK It looks like the white space is being stripped.
In html browser looking for:
...and I'll get my car keys.
Line break
Once I have had a report from...
I'm getting
...and I'll get my car keys. Once I have had a report from...
