The solution to this question is    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt  xml-stylesheet type  text xsl  href  dummy xsl   gt     lt item gt        lt summary gt           lt   CDATA Tootsie roll tiramisu macaroon wafer carrot cake   lt br   gt                         Danish topping sugar plum tart bonbon caramels cake    gt        lt  summary gt     lt  item gt    by adding the   lt br   gt  inside the the  lt   CDATA   gt  this allows the line to break  thus creating a new line

Without using CDATA  try   lt xsl value-of select    amp  xA      gt    Note the double and single quotes   That is particularly useful if you are not creating xml aka text   lt xsl output method  text    gt

Had same  issue when I  had  to develop a fixed  length field  format   Usually  we  do not  use  line separator for binary files but For  some reason our  customer wished  to add a line break  as  separator  between  records   They set    lt  record delimiter value   n      but this  didn t  work as records  got two additional characters    lt  record1    n  lt  record2    n     and so on   Did  following change  and it  just  worked    lt  record delimiter value   n             lt  record delimiter value   amp  xA        After unmarshaling Java  interprets    xA  as  new line character

You are probably using Windows  so new line is CR   LF  carriage return   line feed   So solution would be    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt  xml-stylesheet type  text xsl  href  dummy xsl   gt     lt item gt        lt summary gt Tootsie roll tiramisu macaroon wafer carrot cake  amp  13  amp  10 Danish topping sugar plum tart bonbon caramels cake        lt  summary gt     lt  item gt    For Linux there is only LF and for Mac OS only CR   In question there showed Linux way

You probably need to put it in a CDATA block to preserve whitespace   lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt  xml-stylesheet type  text xsl  href  dummy xsl   gt         lt item gt               lt summary gt            lt   CDATA Tootsie roll tiramisu macaroon wafer carrot cake                                     Danish topping sugar plum tart bonbon caramels cake    gt         lt  summary gt         lt  item gt

Using system IO    You can simply use  n for newline and  t in front of the string to indent it   For example in c     public string theXML         string xml           xml      lt Scene gt  n       xml      t lt Character gt  n         xml      t lt  Character gt  n       xml      lt  Scene gt  n       return xml      This will result in the output   http   prntscr com 96dfqc

You don t need anything fancy  the following contains a new line  two  actually     lt summary gt Tootsie roll tiramisu macaroon wafer carrot cake                  Danish topping sugar plum tart bonbon caramels cake   lt  summary gt    The question is  why isn t this newline having the desired effect  and that s a question about what the recipient of the XML is actually doing with it  For example  if the recipient is translating it to HTML and the HTML is being displayed in the browser  then the newline will be converted to a space by the browser  You need to tell us something about the processing pipeline
