Re: [xsl] Text file Indentation

[Peter Davis <pdavis152@xxxxxxxxx>]

indent="yes" only applies to XML output mode, IIRC, and it isn't even 
guaranteed to be supported.  What your problem is is that XSLT by default 
does not output the whitespace between template elements.  What you want is 
to use the <xsl:text>     </xsl:text> element to tell the processor to not 
ignore the whitespace.  As an alterative, you can experiment with setting 
xml:space="preserve" on any of your elements, which will do the same thing 
(but can have undesired consequences).

What's the difference between a computer salesman and a used car salesman?

A used car salesman knows when he's lying.
