Ok, so I've broken this stuff down into templates, and I *think* I'm
understanding how its handling everything.  However, I seem to be
running into a bit of a formatting nightmare.

Say I want to print someones name followed by a : and then a description
about them.

I have something like this in the xsl

<xsl:template match="name">
<xsl:value-of select="name" /> :
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="desc">
<xsl:value-of select="para"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

So by that method, I'm expecting... name: desc (moves to next line)
However, I'm getting a mixed version of... :name (LFCR)
desc

I'm not sure if this is XSLT or maybe because I'm using FOP.  Anyone run
into this before?
