You presumably want to add a linebreak in element content, ie explictly
_not_ in a tag.

Unlike HTML, XML elements have no predefined meaning. If you are using a
predefined document type then it may have a linebreak element (for
example xhtml has a br element) you'd need to check the definition of
the format that you are using.

If your input is using a document format of your own construction you
can use any markup you like, such as 
<linebreakhere/>
and then add a template that converts that element to an html br

<xsl:template match="para1">
   <p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="linebreakhere">
<br/>
</xsl:template>
