formatting text...

I have an XML doc that in one of its fields can contain a list of
items...  for example

<description>
There is some text here.  Followed by a list:
   * item 1
   * item n
Now there may be some additional text here.
</description>

The portion of the XSLT that handles this block is 

<xsl:template name="DETAILS">
   <xsl:param name="FID"/>
      <dd>
         <b><SPAN STYLE="font-style:italic">Discussion:</SPAN></b>
      </dd>
      <dd>
         <xsl:value-of
select="document('myfile.xml')//XPathStatement[ID=$FID]/DISCUSSION"/>
      </dd>
</xsl:template>

Is there any way to make sure that each of the list items displays on
its own line and indented?  I've tried adding the hex characters (&#xD;
&#xA; &#x9;) to my XML doc, but when the page is rendered in the
browser it all renders as one line.

Jose

You rarely need the match on a xsl:template to start with //. So you
can
change:
<xsl:template match="//imp:FINDING[imp:FINDING_STATUS='O'"> to
<xsl:template
match="imp:FINDING[imp:FINDING_STATUS='O'">
(Not sure you need the predicate either but I don't know the whole
code) An
obsession with using //in XPath expressions seems all too common, not
sure
why, perhaps there are a lot of poor examples online :) If you want the
<FINDING_ID> element in the <xsl:template name="FINDING_DETAILS"> then
you
could pass it in:
   <xsl:call-template name="FINDING_DETAILS">
    <xsl:with-param name="FID" select="imp:FINDING_ID"/>

then:
  <xsl:template name="FINDING_DETAILS">
    <xsl:param name="FID"/>
