I'm processing a node that has embedded line feed characters. I'm
trying to output the original lines, but with spaces added to the front.
I wrote the following template, but it doesn't detect the line feeds:
<xsl:template name="indenter">
<xsl:param name="block"/>
<xsl:param name="indent"/>
<xsl:variable name="rest" select="substring-after($block,'#0A')"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length($rest)=0"><xsl:value-of
select="$indent"/><xsl:value-of select="$block"/></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$indent"/><xsl:value-of select="substring-
before($block,'#0A')"/>
<xsl:call-template name="indenter">
<xsl:with-param name="block" select="$rest"/>
<xsl:with-param name="indent" select="$indent"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Called by:
<xsl:call-template name="indenter">
<xsl:with-param name="block" select="."/>
<xsl:with-param name="indent" select="' '"/>
</xsl:call-template>
Any ideas?
