We use a XSL transformation to emit HTML. The XSL template for transforming a message node is as follows:

<xsl:if test="Message/text() and not(Message/text()='')">
   <tr>
      <td style="font-size:14">
         <b>
           <xsl:value-of select="Message/text()"/>
         </b>
      </td>
   </tr>
</xsl:if>

The Message emitted by java code is in the following format (illustration):

Update of Key 1 failed becasue...  
Update of Key 2 failed becasue...  
Update of Key 3 failed becasue...

(Each failure followed by a line break).

How can I display this data with line breaks on the resulting HTML? At present, it swallows the line breaks.

you can't add `

You can translate newlines to the html br tag , http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3309746/how-to-convert-newline-into-br-with-xslt – Kenneth Clark May 19 '15 at 09:34
If I add
to the text before feedign to the the XSL,it gets emitted as is - instead of being interpreted as a line break in html. – IUnknown May 19 '15 at 10:14
With Java's support for HTML, you may need to use the `
` tag instead of `
`. – Bram Vanroy Jan 23 '16 at 10:28
