I'm trying to figure out how to get an XML file converted using XSLT to a flat text file... I am having 2 issues with this that I am hoping someone here can help me with.

issue 1: I want to exclude nodes based on a value of a attribute in a node. I already have a for-each running on that node, but I would like to know how to exclude them based on the value of the attribute of the node.

issue 2: how do I insert a CRLF during the transform...

1.

<xsl:for-each select="//node[not(@attribute='value for which you want the node excluded')]">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:for-each>

2.
create a variable with:

<xsl:variable name="CRLF">
<xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>

insert it with:

<xsl:value-of select="$CRLF"/>

edit: argh... even inside the code tags it's being eaten. It should be:
<xsl:text>ampersand pound one zero semicolon</xsl:text>
but actually type the charcaters (not the words) and no spaces.
