Steve,

Dave's solution will work, but being more a schema developer than stylesheet writer, \
I would consider a schema change. 

Attempting to format text using spaces and tabs is an iffy situation even outside of \
the XML world. Change fonts and you may be totally messed up. 

I'd look at adding child elements to <pre> for each specific type of information \
(e.g., 'single' then the 'sections').  Rather than <pre> being just a string, make it \
a repeatable selection of exemption and one or more sections. Then you can format \
each element as needed. 

If you cannot make that change consider adding the XML version of Dave's solution \
which is an attribute on <pre> of 'xml:space="preserve".  <pre xml:space="preserve">.

Lynn
