Line breaks in XSLT formatting documentation (xml)

Our WinForms-based application accepts documentation files created by Visual Studio (Xml documentation), performs some XSLT conversion, and displays the result in a WebBrowser control inside our form.

The problem is that we cannot display line breaks, for example for tags in xml documentation.

For instance:

        <member name="T:Genesys.AgentLoginData">
            <summary>
            This is some test summary <br />
            New line here
            </summary>
        </member>

When used with an XSL transform, the summary text will be truncated into one line.

To simplify, the conversion does this to select the summary text:

<xsl:template match="member" >
<xsl:value-of select="summary" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
</xsl:template>

How can we correctly display newlines in a WebBrowser control inside our application?

EDIT: " " WebBrowser. , , - " " .. .

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>Action Help</title><style type="text/css">

          li {text-indent:180px;}
          h1 {color:navy;}
          h2 {color:blueviolet}
          h4 {color:navy;}
        </style></head><body><H2 xmlns="">AgentLogin</H2><H1 xmlns=""></H1><h3 xmlns="">
