Hi Albert,

I use my own entities. These are:

<!ENTITY tab "<xsl:text>    </xsl:text>"> <!-- Tab -->
<!ENTITY tab2 "<xsl:text>        </xsl:text>"> <!-- Two Tabs -->
<!ENTITY tab3 "<xsl:text>            </xsl:text>"> <!-- Three Tabs -->
<!ENTITY tab4 "<xsl:text>                </xsl:text>"> <!-- Four Tabs
-->
<!ENTITY n "<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>"> <!-- New Line -->
<!ENTITY n2 "<xsl:text>

</xsl:text>"> <!-- Two new Lines -->
<!ENTITY n3 "<xsl:text>


</xsl:text>"> <!-- Three new Lines -->

Then you can simply write something like

	&tab2;sometext&n2;
	&tab3;someothertext&n3;

(If I find a good solution to your other answers, I'll post it.)

Have fun,

Juergen
