Re: Replace newline characters(\n) with <br>

You can search the archives for 'replace' or 'recursive templates', such
questions are quite often.

<xsl:template match="message">
    <xsl:call-template name="replace">
        <xsl:with-param name="string" select="."/>
    </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="replace">
    <xsl:param name="string"/>
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="contains($string,'&#10;')">
            <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string,'&#10;')"/>
            <br/>
            <xsl:call-template name="replace">
                <xsl:with-param name="string"
select="substring-after($string,'&#10;')"/>
            </xsl.call-template>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise>
            <xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
