Ok so I lied.  You are still amazing.  But I think I
am missing something.  I set the
white-space-treatment="preserve" and
linefeed-treatment="preserve" but some of the spacing
is not getting preserved.  Is there something else I
forgot to set?   I just want to output everything in
the xml file.  I am assuming they are all spaces in
the xml file but I am not for sure.

I am making progress thank to you all.  Just a lil bit
more to go.
