declare some entities:

<!ENTITY tab "<xsl:text>    </xsl:text>"> <!-- Tab -->
<!ENTITY tab2 "<xsl:text>        </xsl:text>"> <!-- Two Tabs -->
<!ENTITY tab3 "<xsl:text>            </xsl:text>"> <!-- Three Tabs -->
<!ENTITY tab4 "<xsl:text>                </xsl:text>"> <!-- Four Tabs -->
<!ENTITY n "<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>"> <!-- New Line -->
<!ENTITY n2 "<xsl:text>

</xsl:text>"> <!-- Two new Lines -->
<!ENTITY n3 "<xsl:text>


</xsl:text>"> <!-- Three new Lines -->
<!ENTITY space "<xsl:text> </xsl:text>"> <!-- Space -->
<!ENTITY e "<xsl:text/>"> <!-- This does virtually nothing, but it's needed for
formatting. -->
