I have this xml:

================
<text>This is line 1.
This is <B>line 2</B>.
This is line 3.</text>
================


Does XSLT provide a way that I can transform it into this?:

================
<text>
  This is line 1.
  <BR/>
  This is <B>line 2</B>.
  <BR/>
  This is line 3.
</text>
================


I'm piecing together an XML-based content management tool and it would be
most convenient for content editors to just hit enter when they want a line
break to occur, giving them a sort of cross-breed of plaintext and HTML.
Hopefully this could also be adapted to a scenario where each
linefeed-separated block of text is turned into <para>block of text</para>
or similar..

Ideas?
