RE: carriage return in XML ---> <br /> in HTML - how ?

> Any ideas someone ?

How about an edited version of the solution from
http://www.dpawson.freeserve.co.uk/xsl/replace.html#N25057:

[c:\temp]type test.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Text>
    This is where the actual article starts. The article contains
    several paragraphs.

    Paragaraphs are separated by Carriage returns or Linefeeds, not by Tags
</Text>

[c:\temp]type test.xsl
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
                xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:output method="xml" />

<xsl:template match="@*|node()">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()">
   <xsl:call-template name="break" />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="break">
 <xsl:param name="text" select="."/>
 <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="contains($text, '&#xA;')">
     <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, '&#xA;')"/>
     <br/>
     <xsl:call-template name="break">
       <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text,'&#xA;')"/>
     </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
           <xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

[c:\temp]saxon test.xml test.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Text><br/>    This is where the
actual article starts. The article contains<br/>    several
paragraphs.<br/><br/>    Paragaraphs are separated by Carriage returns or
Linefeeds, not by Tags<br/></Text>
