My xslt is this:

This is probably not caused by your XSLT, but may be cured by it. The most probably cause of the problem is that HTML browsers display any sequence of white-spaces as a single space. You can see if this is your problem by doing "View Source" on the page, or just inspecting the HTML in a text editor like notepad. If so, the solution is to use the no-break-space character instead. This is often referred to in HTML as "&nbsp;" but can also be entered using "&#160;" which also works in XML. Try

<xsl:value-of select="translate(text, ' ', &#160;)"/>

You should find this works.

Francis.
