I was trying to parse a csv file.

Perhaps you can get some clues from:


http://www.CraneSoftwrights.com/resources/#csv

That runs either as a standalone stylesheet for command-line use or as an imported stylesheet to be called.

The problem was that I was defining a variable for the newline, which
I expected would match the native system:

<xsl:variable name="nl">
    <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>

That won't match the native system because the end-of-line sequence of the stylesheet is translated into &#xa; on the way into the parsed XDM tree and so only &#xa; will be put out when done.


I hope this helps.
