It's part of XSLT 2 [1], which doesn't have as widespread use as XSLT 1. Using <xsl:value-of select="codepoints-to-string('10')" /> will indeed give you a newline in cases where using an XML editor on your stylesheet would turn into a literal newline which might then be reformatted as a space by buggy ill-behaved software you shouldn't use :-) :-) The right way for an editor to show indenting of XML documents is visually, not by changing the text of the document. Probably I'd have a global variable, <xsl:variable name="newline" select="codepoints-to-string('10')" /> and document in a comment why you are using it. Then you can use concat("abc", $newline, "cde") to get something much more readable.
