Description
I have a XSLT-file which contains TAB and CRLF-definition to create a better readable output, like this
<xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="./KEY_NUMERIC_OLD"/>
<xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="./KEY_NUMERIC_NEW"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
It works fine, but when I opened the file with XMLNotepad and saved it, all the TABs and CRLF are gone. Why?
Related to #166 ?
