White Spaces before texts

I would like the following output:
"  Welcome to mysite"
Note: 2 empty spaces before the sentence start and "mysite" is a link

I had tried the following in my xsl file:
<td> 
    <xsl:text>   Welcome to</xsl:text>
    <a href="http://www.mysite.com">mysite</a>
</td>
It never give me the empty spaces before the word "Welcome". this is the
output:
"Welcome to mysite"

I also tried out the following:
<td> 
	<![CDATA[  ]]>
	<a href="networking.asp" class="category">Networking</a>
</td>
And it give me the same output:
"Welcome to mysite"

I need some empty spaces before the sentence start, can somebody please
help? Thank you.
