hi,

 I have part of a stylesheet that looks like this:

<tr>
  <td><xsl:value-of select="field1"/></td>
   I need some spaces between these 2 fields on the same line of HTML
  <td><xsl:value-of select="field2"/></td>
</tr>

How can I get the stylesheet to insert spaces ?
I have tried <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
but my spces dont appear.

Any suggestions?
Many thanks.

Spaces within <xsl:text> should appear, if they don't then it's probably because you're using a Microsoft parser to parse the stylesheet. Microsoft parsers have a nasty habit of removing your whitespace unless you ask them very nicely to preserve it: it's a property on the Document node called something like preserveWhitespace.
