Just as I showed you ... but I note that you (or my mailer?) corrupted the middle line and removed the numeric character reference.

Do I've to make a seperate doctype?

What is a "separate doctype"?

I'm sorry but I'm getting a little confused.

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear.

My stylesheet is:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

Then change it to:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY nbsp "&#xa0;"> <!--known for HTML output, not in XML-->
]>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

Just add the three lines I gave you ... this is an XML issue, not an XSLT issue.

<xsl:template match="dataroot">

Unfortunately, your naked HTML got corrupted by my mail client, so I can't see what you have in the template rule.

I want to add space between the images so they're at least a little apart.

The following will place a non-breaking space between a bunch of children image elements (provided you add at the top the three lines I gave you) ... I'm only guessing at the names of your elements and attributes, but you'll get the picture (no pun intended!):

<xsl:for-each select="image">
  <xsl:if test="position()>1">&nbsp;</xsl:if>
  <img src="{@filename}"/>
</xsl:for-each>

I hope this helps.
