But you are explictly not copying the white space text nodes that contain the indentation. <myelement> <childelement> childvalue </childelement> so the first two children of <myelement> are 1) a text node containing a newline and 8 spaces 2) an element node (childelement) The default <xsl:apply-templates/> would apply templates to all child nodes, including text, and the default rule on text would copy the text node to the result, but you went: <xsl:value-of select="childelement"/> which just selects the element nodes and doesn't extract any of the text nodes from the source. Since you use value-of it would also discard all but the first childelement.
