Hi Amanda..
The unicode symbol for tab is #x9;
so u have to use this for producing a tab in the output..
an example would be..
if your xml file is
<students>
<student>
<name>A.J.Nonameson</name>
<age>23</age>
<college>Best-college</college>
</student>
<student>
<name>P.J.Somenameson</name>
<age>23</age>
<college>Worst-college</college>
</student>
</students>
-----
and xsl would be
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="student">
<xsl:value-of select="name"/><xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="age"/><xsl:text>	</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="college"/>
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
---
to produce a result..
A.J.Nonameson 23 Best-college
P.J.Somenameson 23 Worst-college

The important things when dealing with text output is..
1. <xsl:output> declaration...
you should declare the method to be text and make sure you omit-xml- declaration
** <xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/> **
2. Unicode Symbols for characters like tab,newline,carraige return, space etc..
tab ---> #x9
space ---->#x20
newline --->#xa
carraige return-->#xD
check up the above code to see how these are used ( u should use them with <xsl:text></xsl:text> ..as in <xsl:text>	</xsl:text> for tab
and <xsl:text>
</xsl:text> for a newline..
