Re: [xslt] Question about white space output

[srperan sherlock dif um es]

Well, maybe I did not explain correctly. Excuse me, but my english is
not very good.

I have a XML file, and I use libxslt to process it. The output is a TEXT
file.
I want to insert white spaces into the output TEXT file.
I am not talking about a libxslt bug. I am just asking how to do it.

I have been reading past messages and I have seen similar questions, but
I think those questions was not regarding a TEXT output.
I will be more explicit. We have this XML piece :


<sequence name="secuencia2">
  <sequence>
    <sequence type="long">
    </sequence>
  </sequence>
</sequence>


and using this template, we want to obtain a TEXT output:

<xsl:template match="sequence">
<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="@name">typedef sequence &lt;<xsl:apply-templates
	select="sequence"/><xsl:if test="@max">,<xsl:value-of
	select="@max"/></xsl:if> &gt; <xsl:value-of
	select="@name"/>;</xsl:when>
		<xsl:when test="@type">sequence &lt;<xsl:value-of
		select="@type"/><xsl:if test="@max">, <xsl:value-of
		select="@max"/></xsl:if> &gt; </xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>sequence &lt;<xsl:apply-templates
			select="sequence"/><xsl:if test="@max">,
			<xsl:value-of select="@max"/></xsl:if>&gt;
			</xsl:otherwise>
			</xsl:choose> <xsl:value-of select="@nombre"/>
</xsl:template>


When we process this, we obtain this output :

typedef sequence < sequence < sequence < long >>>secuencia2;

When we need :

typedef sequence < sequence < sequence < long > > > secuencia2;

Now, the question is, how can I insert the white spaces between symbols?
symbols?

Thank You.
