You don't say what error messages you are getting, but the above should work, provided you have the following at the top of your stylesheet:
Alternatively, you could just do:
<xsl:text>    </xsl:text>
That is irrelevant in your situation and in any case should be avoided and only used as a very last resort.
The key is to establish, probably manually, in a standalone HTML file exactly what markup you need to get the effect you want, and then you'll know what markup you need in your stylesheet to get the desired result.
I hope this helps.

<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
