Thanks,



But it don't work well. If I do the <xsl:text> then the sentence after that
will be without the line-break.

I think I have to live with it.



Another question :



When I have a xml piece of this :





<body>Naam : Tamara Wobben
         Geboorte gewicht : 2000 gram
         Geboorte lengte : 44 cm.
         Geboortedatum : 1 september 2005

</body>





And I do <xsl:value-of select="body" or I do <xsl:copy-of select="body"> Then
all the text will be displayed as this :



Tamara Wobben  Geboorte gewicht : 2000 gram Geboorte lengte : 44 cm
Geboortedatum : 1 september 2005



And not as the text in the xml file.



Can I display that text with a line break ?



Roelof
