How to convert tab characters in XSLT

[Murtaza Tinwala]

Hello mates,

I have to convert an XML document into HTML output through the
use of XSLT. I am receiving some text content which contains tab
characters. I have to display this content into TD. How should I
create HTML tab? I can identify tabs in XSLT. But, how to display
tabs exactly in HTML? Can anybody help?

Whitespace in HTML is usually collapsed, what you can do is use the HTML
<pre> element to have whitespace rendered e.g.
<td>
<pre>
<xsl:value-of select="yourElement" />
</pre>
</td>
