RE: [xsl] text output with some significant white space

I am generating text file so can't have and <img>'s in output.

I tried <xsl:text> to add spaces:
<xsl:text> </xsl:text> will put a space in output but it isn't
easy to visually distinguish one number of spaces from another.
as needed for indention of say {3 6 9 12 ...} spaces. It also
balloons line out making very hard read.

I guess my method for whitespace is not a very good one,
but it is quite simple:

**********<xsl:template match="foo">
*************begin@<xsl:value-of select="name"/><img src="cleardot.gif"
width="4" height="1"/>{<br/>
*************<img src="cleardot.gif" width="12" height="1"/><xsl:value-of
select="body"/><br/>
*************<img src="cleardot.gif" width="12" height="1"/>}
**********</xsl:template>

Please don't laugh :)
