Following is an excerpt from $ANT_HOME/etc/junit-noframes.xsl.
<!--
template that will convert a carriage return into a br tag
@param word the text from which to convert CR to BR tag
-->
<xsl:template name="br-replace">
<xsl:param name="word"/>
<xsl:param name="br"><br/></xsl:param>
<xsl:value-of select='stringutils:replace(string($word),"
",$br)'/>
</xsl:template>
The purpose of the template is to convert new-lines to <br/> tags in text
such as stack traces. This template does not insert the desired <br/> tags
and only deletes the new-lines that are found.
I chased this for a week in the XALAN mailing list to learn that this is not
valid.
I was able to accomplish the desired effect (preserving formatting of the
stack trace) by adding <pre> ... </pre> tags to the generated HTML and
removing the call to the br-replace template. My solution is shown below.
Perhaps someone on the dev team could consider this for ANT 1.7?

<!-- the later is better but might be problematic for non-21"
