I thought you said you were outputting text not XML?
ie <xsl:output method="text"/>

But mainly it's because I misread the ! as insignificant carrage return.
so don't do

do

           <xsl:template match="foo">
              <xsl:text/>begin <xsl:value-of select="name"/> {

<xsl:text/> <xsl:value-of select="body"/>

              <xsl:text>   }</xsl:text>
          </xsl:template>
