Re: [xsl] why no indent here

Or your (Symphony) data model isn't appropriate enough as it lacks
sufficient detail for expressing what kind of "text" your chunks of
text are.

For modelling a person's data you'd have fields for name, date of
birth, etc. But I think you are trying to model a blog, and for this
you might end up with fields like "body" (resulting in an ordinary
HTML <p>) OR with another thing "lines" that contains "line"
repeatedly. Given

<lines>
   <line>first line</line>
   ...
</lines>

it's easy to convert this to
   <p>first line<br/>...</p>

(I'd like to hear some opions from the Wizards on this list: Is it
worth doing all this if you can write it in HTML, add a nice CSS and
that's it? The "content" isn't going to need much maintenance - at
least I can't see it in *this* app. And consider what you have to
master either way.)
