transformation

I'm assuming you mean not using XSLT 2.0.
I have XML data as below and I need to transform to HTML. I want to
insert line breaks for the DATES field for the new lines while
transforming. I tried to use translate but it only replaces one
character with another character.
I am very new to XSL, any suggestion would be great..
You need a recursive call that walks through the text node looking
for newlines at the end of each line. XML processing normalizes
end-of-line sequences to be a newline on all platforms. The
recursive call keeps calling itself until all the newlines are processed.
I hope the example below helps. I would note that very rarely will
you ever need to address text() nodes directly (there is a recent
thread on this), and when using select using "./*" is no different
than using "*".
