Is it possible to use a similar method to preserve line breaks when output method is ‘text’?

I have some formatted XML that I am trying to transform to text, but it will not preserve the line breaks in the text output.

Thanks a lot, this is exactly what I was looking for.
The only thing I would change in the example is to use slightly different names for the text node and the template’s parameter, because it might take some people (ok, me) a few extra seconds to understand name=”text” select=”/text”.
Thanks again.
