Thanks you for your answers Actually I afraid I did not ask my question clearly enough. The @value which is the content of an XML File's element which contains a String. This String has to be formatted (a little bit if possible :-) ) with new lines. So that the text:
Mister T"NewLineChar"Hannibal Smith"NewLineChar"Looping Where "NewLineChar" should be the expected character After rendering FOP will look like in PDF format to: Mister T Hannibal Smith Looping Is it possible? Or should I find a way to use multiple blocks? Thank you.

</xsl:text> You can also add an entity to your doctype if you tend to use this kind of newlines more often: <!ENTITY newline "&#x0D;&#x0A;" > and use it as follows: <xsl:text>&newline;</xsl:text> which will be rendered as a \r\n by the serializer. Of course, you could also use an xsl:variable to do the same. Why do you want a \r *and* a \n? Because if you output XML (which you do: XSL-FO) the serializer will make sure that all \r\n will become \n. Which means that <xsl:text>
</xsl:text> is semantically equivalent with: <xsl:text>
</xsl:text> which means that the newline entity definition will do exactly the same when defined thus: <!ENTITY newline "&#x0A;" > (not so when you output as text, but that is another story) If you *have* to have both the \r and the \n in the serialized output (I have no idea why, I think you don't) then your only bet is XSLT 2.0 which allows you to put in late-serialization replacements with xsl:character-map.
