Greetings,

I am trying to format a text report from an xml document. There are sevral places I need to have 2 or 3 blank lines. I have my xsl:output set to the following:

<xsl:output method="text"/>

In my xsl stylesheet I have many of the following:

<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>

Each time I only get one blank line. However I discovered if I place a space after the 
 like so:

<xsl:text>
 </xsl:text>

I will that blank line plus the next one. I find this very confusing and frustrating. Can someone please shed some light as to what is happening and what it is I need to do to accomplish my goals?

Thanks in advance,

Doug Lochart

Now I've gained some understanding
Of the only world that we see.
Things that I once dreamed of
Have become reality.

These walls that still surround me
Still contain the same old me,
Just one more who's searching for
A world that ought to be.
