Assuming that you apply-templates to text nodes, and that you are generating HTML, and that you are using XSLT 2.0, you can do

<xsl:apply-template match="text()">
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(., '\n')">
<p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
</
</

Oh, I see you're using XSLT 1.0. That's tedious - in that case you need a recursive named template that uses substring-before to process the text before the first newline, and then calls itself passing substring-after(., '& #xa;') to process the text after the first newline.

Hi Experts,
Could you please guide me if there is any way in XSL to recognize new line character and display each line as a new paragraph? I am not sure of the Unicode entity of new line char, if we really need it we can assume it to be&#xa;
I am using JDOM as processor and xsl version 1.0.

Thanks much in advance for help.
