Hi,

Let's assume you have an XML with this node in it:

<text>Line1&#13;Line2&#13;other content</text>


And the desired output would be:
<div>
	<p>Line1</p>
	<p>Line2</p>
	<p>other content</p>
</div>


This can be achieved by applying a stylesheet like this:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"  
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="text">
<div>
	<xsl:call-template name="par"/>
</div>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="par">
	<xsl:param name="text" select="."/>
	<p>
		<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(concat($text,'&#13;'),'&#13;')"/>
	</p>
	<xsl:if test="contains($text,'&#13;')">
		<xsl:call-template name="par">
			<xsl:with-param name="text">
				<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($text,'&#13;')"/>
			</xsl:with-param>
		</xsl:call-template>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
