XSL isn't the right thing for formatting the output-tree. The only simple
thing is Oleg's sugestion <xsl:output indent="yes"/>. Then the code looks
like the following:

<ADT_A01>
<MSH>
<MSH.1>|</MSH.1>
<MSH.2>~^\&amp;</MSH.2>

This is still not perfect but better than everything in one line.

The best maybe would be a formatting stylesheet and a
two-step-transformation.

Joerg
