I'm very new to XSLT so forgive what is probably a stupid question, but here goes...

I installed a bread crumb script that outputs an unordered list. In the XSLT script, the list is nicely formatted with each item on a separate line and indented. But I assume that in the process of outputting the final HTML, something removes all the line breaks and white space because when I view the page source, it all runs together. I know that is not supposed to matter in HTML but for whatever reason, when my ul tags get jammed together, my design breaks.

So my real question I guess is how can I preserve at least the line breaks in my XSLT, if not the other white space?

Use this template

Code:

<xsl:template name="Newline"><xsl:text>
</xsl:text></xsl:template>

Then in you xslt

Code:

First line
<xsl:call-template name="Newline" />
Second line

Have you tried to use indent="yes"? mayby this is enough in your case, the output will then be indent

Code:

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="ISO-8859-1" omit-xml-declaration="yes" />

indent="yes" did the trick. Thanks Christian!

Hi
I am trying to have linebreaks in a mail sent using
<xsl:variable name="smtpresult" select="umbraco.library:SendMail($fromEmail, $toEmail, $heading, $message, 1)"/>

But I cant get it to work using any of the above mentioned methods. What am I missing? Any ideas?

I did try \n and it did notwork. Will try the other option but it seems like a VB/VBScript-thing?

What happens if you try:

Code:

<xsl:variable name="message" select="'This is the first line
this is the second line
this is the third line'" />

I don't know if I understand the email part of the question, but I use

Code:

<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>

when I want to add a line break to my output
