xslt - How do I make xsl transformation indent the output?

Question

I'm using xalan with the following xsl header:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    version="1.0"
    xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect"
    extension-element-prefixes="redirect"
    xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan">
<xsl:output method="text" indent="yes" xalan:indent-amount="4"/>

And the output is not indented.

Anyone with ideas?

For indentation you need to use a different namespace: http://xml.apache.org/xslt (see this issue)

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0"
xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect"
extension-element-prefixes="redirect"
xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xslt">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" xalan:indent-amount="4"/>
