What happens with xsl:text?

I have a code which generates a text file using xslt.

It's a rather large amount of data to paste in here so I'll try and only past relevant data.

I have a template which looks like this and this is my starting point

<xsl:template match="addrmap[not(@name='ADDRMAP_NAME_NOT_USED')]">
  <xsl:result-document href="{$OUTPUT_DIR}/{@name}_defs_p.vhd">
    <xsl:call-template name="vhdl_header">
      <xsl:with-param name="block" select="."></xsl:with-param>
    </xsl:call-template>

<xsl:text>
library ieee;
use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
use ieee.numeric_std.all;

use work.pk_avalon_mm_extif_defs;
</xsl:text>

    <xsl:text>Test 2</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:variable name="offset" select="rdt:all2dec(rdt:resolve_offset(./@offset))"/>
    <xsl:text>Test 3</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:apply-templates mode="map">
      <xsl:with-param name="offset" select="$offset"/>
    </xsl:apply-templates>

    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="enum" mode="map">
  <xsl:text>Test 4</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
  <xsl:text>Test 5</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

I am using the expression below to track how text is written to my file

<xsl:text>Test #</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>

Running my code "Test 2" and "Test 3" gets print correctly with no indentation and right after each other. Now "Test 4" gets printed with and Indentation of 4 and two lines below "Test 3". "Test 5" is also printed correctly IE no indentation and one the next line after "Test 4". It looks like this

Test 2
Test 3


    Test 4
Test 5

I cannot find why it does this. It looks to me its something that happens when entering the template. because I have a second template execute after this which behaves similar.

If I now take and removes the xsl:text and just have the text raw.

<xsl:template match="enum" mode="map">
Test 4<xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
  <xsl:text>Test 5</xsl:text><xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

It looks a little different

Test 2
Test 3



Test 4
Test 5

now "Test 4" have the right indentation however it is now 3 lines below "Test 3"

I hope this makes sense.

I am using oXygen but I cant seem to debug my way out of this one

Regards

Consider to reduce your problems to minimal but complete samples to allow us to reproduce the problem. So far we can only guess that xsl:apply-templates mode="map" which processes all child nodes (including text nodes) outputs some text nodes from the input, either through your own templates or as the built-in templates or your xsl:mode settings do that. But you haven't shown any input.

If you only want to process enum elements you can try <xsl:apply-templates select="enum" mode="map"/>, if you only want to process child elements but not text nodes use select="*". A more radical approach might be to strip white space with xsl:strip-space.
