Thanks Neil

The xhtml content is processed in a xsl:copy-of statement.

I've managed to get my line breaks in using the xsl below

<xsl:template name="break">
		<xsl:param name="text" />
		<xsl:choose>
			<xsl:when test="contains($text, '&#xd;')">
				<xsl:copy-of select="substring-before($text, '&#xd;')"/><br />
				<xsl:call-template name="break">
					<xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text,'&#xd;')"/>
				</xsl:call-template>
			</xsl:when>
			<xsl:otherwise>
				<xsl:copy-of select="$text" />
			</xsl:otherwise>
		</xsl:choose>
	</xsl:template>

However because I an reading the inner text I am losing all markup! I need a way of retaining markup and inserting <br />s in place of &#xd;
