Or use below slight modification in case the XSLT 1.0 processor supports
EXSLT (http://exslt.org/str/index.html):

<xsl:apply-template match="text()">
<xsl:for-each select="str:tokenize(., '\n')">
<p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
</
</

Assuming that you apply-templates to text nodes, and that you are
generating HTML, and that you are using XSLT 2.0, you can do

<xsl:apply-template match="text()">
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(., '\n')">
<p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
</
</

Oh, I see you're using XSLT 1.0. That's tedious - in that case you need
a recursive named template that uses substring-before to process the
text before the first newline, and then calls itself passing
substring-after(., '& #xa;') to process the text after the first newline.
