You can read in XML data and output XML or HTML or plain text with XSLT 1.0. Any XML input and any stylesheet is parsed by an XML parser first which normalizes white space and line breaks, see http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#sec-line-ends http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#AVNormalize that is all you need to be aware of. So you are right, 
 or 
 is a way to put a line break into an XML input document or an XSLT stylesheet. On the other hand you have not told us what your output format is, if it's HTML and you want to display paragraphs or lines then you need to construct the proper HTML e.g. 'p' elements for paragraphs or 'br' elements to have line breaks.
