Dan,

I'm not missing what you are asking I just didn't think you wanted something
that detailed. Figured I'd give you simple, get the goods and then get
complex on my own ;-)

Your example worked just fine for me...what's the xsl that will do that?

Thanks,

Jon

Jon, I think you are missing what I am asking you. There are various
ways to get the effect of indention in html. For example:

1) nested use of <dl> and <dt>
2) invisible images of desired width
3) series of non-breaking spaces &nbsp;
4) empty cells in table to force appearance of left padding
5) use of <pre>
6) probably others

The markup you sent just places space (shown with @s) in the html
which would be *removed* on rendering:

@@@Module1<input type="checkbox" name="ParentModuleID" value="1"/><br/>
@@@@@@Module4<input type="checkbox" name="ParentModuleID" value="4"/><br/>

So what I am asking is how do you want to synthesize your html to
show indention? This is a bit of a loaded question as I think all
of the methods have their shortcomings. I am enclosing a fragment
showing #1 above, but someone knowledgable might need to check this
out because I have a suspicion this old technique may be illegal
for HTML4 DTD (I don't have time to check it (but it still might
work thanks to the forgiving nature of browsers)).

Regards,

Dan
