Trevor,
You describe two separate problems:
1. no whitespace on output: what you need is <xsl:output indent="yes"/> in your
template, _BUT_
this feature is not supported yet. Should be implemented in the very next release. For
now, insert
<xsl:text> </xsl:text> or <xsl:text> </xsl:text> (as you do) to add a space or
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text> to break lines. Sorry for the inconvenience.
2. the "funny character (Â)" seems to be your editor/viewer interpretation of the utf-8
representation of #160; Try to open your output text in a viewer (e.g. any browser)
supporting
utf-8. You should try to specify another output encoding: <xsl:output ...
encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
Regards,
Petr
