It is easy enough todo the right line wrapping & indent in the
XSLT straight away avoiding this two pass system. We had this
exact same need for the template that converts security notices
from XML to plain text.

Just copy the "wrap-string" template from this file:

  http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt-security-notice.git;a=blob;f=templates/lsn2text.xsl;hb=HEAD

and call it anywhere you need todo wrapping from

This avoids the need to rely on magic markers being the in
intermediate text file, which could get mis-interpreted
depending on what people write in the release notes.

Regards,
Daniel
