Actually XSL doesn't recognise &nbsp.

It will if you add it to your stylesheet ... it just isn't built-in.


<xsl:text>
</xsl:text> works and creates only one white space and
not more then that.I want to have sufficient white
space between my two images as they're very close to
each other.Any suggestions?

An XSLT stylesheet is just an XML document, so just add it to your XML document:


<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;"> <!--known for HTML output, not in XML-->
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
                version="1.0">

..... &nbsp; .....

</xsl:stylesheet>

Since the XSLT processor uses &nbsp; for this character when emitting HTML output, you will get what you want.

I hope this helps.
