Re: how to replace <?Pub _hardspace?>

If you use value-of you get the string value of the para element and all
nodes, elements or procesing instructions etc will never cause any
templates to be run.

In order for the template matching processing instructions to have any
effect you need to apply templates, so change that to
<xsl:apply-templates/>
