Preserving Line and Tab Spaces in XML File

Question

Hi all,
Question is in detail
I want to preserve spaces in my XML Document.
XML File is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<desc xml:space = "prserved">          AAA&#xD;
&#xD;
Customer Id: [ customer_id ]&#xD;
Customer Id: [ customer_id ]&#xD;
Customer Id: [ customer_id ]&#xD;
Customer Id: [ customer_id ]&#xD;
Customer Id: [ customer_id ]&#xD;
</desc>
Output of the XML File Should be like this
AAA
Customer Id: [ customer_id ]
Customer Id: [ customer_id ]
Customer Id: [ customer_id ]
Customer Id: [ customer_id ]
Customer Id: [ customer_id ]
i want same output that what you see above, when i am converting xml file to pdf file.
First, i am generating XML File dynamically
Second, i am writing XSL File(Predefined)
Third, Using FOP, i am converting XML to PDF(By Using XSL File)
Here is My XSL File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
<xsl:preserve-space elements="desc"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<fo:root xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format">
     <fo:layout-master-set>
          <fo:simple-page-master master-name="simple">
               <fo:region-body margin-left = "2cm" margin-right = "2cm" margin-top = "2cm" margin-bottom = "2cm"/>
          </fo:simple-page-master>
     </fo:layout-master-set>
     <fo:page-sequence master-name="simple">
          <fo:flow flow-name="xsl-region-body">
               <xsl:apply-templates select="desc"/>
          </fo:flow>
     </fo:page-sequence>s
</fo:root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="desc">
<fo:block font-weight="bold" color = "brown"><xsl:value-of select="."/></fo:block>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
i used (space preserving) attributes in XML File and XSL File also. But i am getting below output.
AAACustomer Id: [ customer_id ]Customer Id: [ customer_id ]Customer Id: [ customer_id ] Customer Id: [ customer_id ]Customer Id: [ customer_id ]

Thanks for your Response
I want to preserve space when i convert xml file to pdf. So we need to use FO
attributes.
<fo:block wrap-option="no-wrap" white-space-collapse="false"><xsl:value-of
select="."/>
</fo:block>
