Subject: Outputting newlines



I am trying to output carriage return, line feed and tab formatting to a 
text document, from the transformation of a XML file  via XSL.  The XSL 
uses the output format as text.  I haven't found an answer to how to do 
that from the w3C XSLT primer.  Do you have any suggestions?

I want to output

  yyyyy
  xxxxx


and have

<xsl:text>yyyyy</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="some_value"/>


(where some_value  ends up being xxxxx)

Thanks, but it actually does not work.  Where do you find the references 
for carriage return, tabs.... etc..? Do you have any other suggestions?

There is a mail list just for XSL that would be a bit better for these
questions: 
  http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list/index.html

For allowable characters, have a look at the W3 spec for XML:
  http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#charsets

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Does this mean that now using Xalan pretty much IS rocket science?

I apologize, it does work.
Nonetheless, where are the references for carriage returns, tabs, etc...
