Re: [xsl] Tricky White Spaces being ignored

No, the difference is between being inside xsl:text and not being inside
it.

Most white space in a stylesheet is ignored so you can indent like

<xsl:template mact="x">
   <foo>
     <xsl:apply-templates/>

without that white space coming out in the result. If you want white
space to be copied to the result then put it in an xsl:text

A character reference such as &#10; counts as white space here as it
has been expanded by the xml parser before xslt sees the stylseheet, so
xslt can not give different rules for character references.
