Thanks. This works, except for with character entities. Perhaps I am
missing something on how to escape character entities, but, when I run
this:
 

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

<div>

<xsl:call-template name="par"/>

</div>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="par">

<xsl:param name="text" select="big/block"/>

<p>

<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(concat($text,'&#13;'),'&#13;')"/>

</p>

<xsl:if test="contains($text,'&#13;')">

<xsl:call-template name="par">

<xsl:with-param name="text">

<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($text,'&#13;')"/>

</xsl:with-param>

</xsl:call-template>

</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

against this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<big>

<block>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.&#13;

&#13;ultrices nisl id orci. Curabitur id est. In eget mauris. Lorem
Praesent sollicitudin bibendum orci. Suspendisse potenti. Quisque nec
tortor.&#13;

&#13;magna. Sed facilisis nonummy nulla. Aenean feugiat, ligula sit amet
rhoncus consectetuer, mi pede consectetuer neque, vitae gravida urna
diam ac massa. Lorem Aenean neque magna, gravida vitae, pellentesque
nec, aliquam a, risus.&#13;

&#13;

</block>

</big>


I get this (all the whitespace included):
 

<div><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

 

 

ultrices nisl id orci. Curabitur id est. In eget mauris. Lorem Praesent
sollicitudin bibendum orci. Suspendisse potenti. Quisque nec tortor.

 

magna. Sed facilisis nonummy nulla. Aenean feugiat, ligula sit amet
rhoncus consectetuer, mi pede consectetuer neque, vitae gravida urna
diam ac massa. Lorem Aenean neque magna, gravida vitae, pellentesque
nec, aliquam a, risus.

 

 

</p>

</div>

Any help would be much appreciated.
