Michael,

Will there always be exactly one <br> in the topic/@name attribute?

If so, you could use the XPath substring-before() and substring-after() 
functions:

<td>
	<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(@name, '<br>')" />
	<br />
	<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(@name, '<br>')" />
</td>

Don't forget also that <br /> is an empty element and, according to XHTML 
specs it must have a closing slash ;-)

Another thing would be to have multiple attributes in the <topic> element...

Cheers,
Richard
