Hi everyone,

I am trying to figure out how to indent text using XSLT.  Consider this
XML document:

<Book>
<Title> XSL transformations </Title>
<Summary>
This is a block of text
that gives a full summary
of a book that describes
how to use XSLT.
</Summary>
</Book>

Consider this XSL file:

?xml version="1.0"?> 
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="Book">
Book_Title: <xsl:value-of select="Entry_ID"/>
Summary:
<xsl:value-of select="Summary"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Now, the output looks like this:

Book_Title: XSL Transformations
Summary:
This is a block of text
that gives a full summary
of a book that describes
how to use XSLT.

And this is what I'd like:

Book_Title: XSL Transformations
Summary:
   This is a block of text
   that gives a full summary
   of a book that describes
   how to use XSLT.

How can I tell my style sheet to indent each line?

Thanks,
Chris
