XML question

[dj-power-n-assoc]

I'm capturing text from users and putting it into an XML doc like so...

<MESSAGE>
<TEXT>
Hello, here is some text.
Here's some more.

Thank you,
Me
</TEXT>
</MESSAGE>

... and it looks like that in the XML, with the returns and everything. But when I transform it with XSLT I get...

"Hello, here is some text. Here's some more. Thank you, Me"

Anyone know how I can retain the whitespace? It's not <xsl:preserve-space>. That's for blank nodes. Unless I'm using it wrong.

Thanks,
dj
