You have <xsl:value-of select="entrydata/text" /> and your text nodes
have a line end after the comma, so your result tree should have a #10
character after each comma.
If you are using the xml or html output methods then a #10 in the result
tree may be serialised as #10 or #13 or a #10#13 pair depending on the
whim of your system. These days most editors will display any of these
combinations as a line end, given a bit of encouragement.

Of course if you produce html and look at it in a browser, a newline
renders as a space, as always in html.

indent=yes allows the system to indent elements in places where the
extra white space would not affect the rendering in a browser. But your
stylesheet produces no elements, so indent=yes does nothing.


I cut your example from your mail and ran it through saxon, and got
linebreaks as expected:

$ saxon v.xml v.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
1,
1.1,
1.1.1,

1.1.2,

1.1.3,


1.2,
1.2.1,


1.3,
1.3.1,

1.3.2,

1.3.3,

1.3.4,
