Sorry, but I didn't understand that.

I expect that the line breaks and extra whitespace are in the XHTML but
aren't being shown by your web browser: text nodes containing both
whitespace and non-whitespace text are not stripped, nor stripped of their
'extra' whitespace (unless you've slipped in a normalize-space() that you
haven't told us about, that is).
You could output the content in a <pre>, though by default that would come
out as monospaced text. You could then add CSS styles to use a
proportionally-spaced font with the <pre> if that's what you want.
If you were using XSLT 2.0, you could use xsl:analyse-string to replace
the line breaks with <br /> elements. With XSLT 1.0, you could do much
the same thing with a recursive template that uses substring-before() to
find the text before the first line break, outputs that text and a <br />,
then calls itself with the substring-after() the first line break. When
there's no more line breaks, the template would just output the remaining
text.
