How do I insert nbsp ( or space ) using XSL

I found that using a CDATA section with a space in it useful - easiest too!

The 'xsl:text' element sends literal text to the output stream. Because this element forces any white space information within it to be retained, it can be used to send multiple white space characters (those entered directly by keyboard or represented as entities) as part of a string of text.

Hope this helps....

thanx for the help. I tried using xsl:text but I got the following error. Can u tell me what to do next. Do I have to put something in the header

1. When I tried using nbsp the error was :
"Reference to undefined entity 'nbsp'. Error processing resource 'http://aaa/WoM/Pf/vwComp.xsl'. Line 28, Position 80
"

2. When I tried inserting simple space I got:
"Keyword xsl:text may not be used in namespace http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl. "

I am not sure why you are getting the 'Version error'. I used the 'xsl:text' tag in my code and I did not get any error though I too was using version 1.0. The only limitation of this tag is that it displays only one white space even if you put more than one. Here is the sample code where I am using the 'xsl:text' tag.
?xml version="1.0"?
xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xdc="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl"

xsl:template match="/"
html
head
title Names and Addresses /title
/head
body
xsl:apply-templates select="NAMES/NAME"/
/body
/html
/xsl:template


xsl:template match="NAME"
xdc:text This preserves the space /xdc:text
B
BR /BR
xsl:value-of select="FIRST"/>
/B
BR /BR
/xsl:template
/xsl:stylesheet

Hope this helps....

thanx a lot !!! It finally worked. I was trying to use xsl:text instead of xcd:text.
It was of great help!
