I am generating text file so can't have and <img>'s in output.
I tried <xsl:text> to add spaces:
<xsl:text> </xsl:text> will put a space in output but it isn't
easy to visually distinguish one number of spaces from another.
as needed for indention of say {3 6 9 12 ...} spaces. It also
balloons line out making very hard read.
