[xsl] How do you code value-of select to specify one field per line but you do not want each specified field to jump to a new output line

---

---

How do I code the value-of select so all my output fields stay on the same 
output line.  Do not want to wrap all my value-of logic on one line 
because then it is too hard to format my output fields.

Here is code and output.  How do I fix the code so I have one field per 
line but the output all stays on one line.  I look thru each fund_info 
item and print out a data line with specific fields.

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

        <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
                </xsl:for-each> 

Output then displays as shown below  (this is how data should appear)

Subject:        Code used to extract data from complex XML file - how do 
you move fields value of select fields to separate lines


About a week ago I posted information about a complex XML file I was 
trying to convert to CSV.  I have since come up with the following XML 
stylesheet.
Have some questions about how to tweak this stylesheet.  Had to start at 
the recurring section then move upwards to build the CSV file.

O/S Issues
1)  Extracted all default fields from XML file using my XSLT code below.
2)  How can I put each value-of select on separate lines in my code so is 
easier to read - do not want my data to go to a different line.
3) How do you edit value-of select lines to make a value a date, numeric, 
zero filled. 
4)  How do I sort file after all records get written out to file in XSLT 
code
4)  Have to find a way to derive some of my fields that do not come 
directly from my XML file

        how do I hardcode a value
        how do a pull in a default value into a field such as current date 
in format yyyymmddhhmm or yyyymmdd
        how do I set up a field from different fields (ie. my batch date 
format is as follows YYYYMMDDHHMMXCUR where X is a value from another 
field and CUR is a value from another field 
        how do I look for a partial value in a text field from XML file to 
set up a derived field - need to look for a certain string in 
invoice_number to set up PaymentTerms

Here is my CSV output from XML File (was able to extract all default 
fields)
