For XSLT the answer is along the lines of:

<xsl:template match="text()">
   <xsl:call-template name="break">
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="break">
   <xsl:param name="text" select="."/>
   <xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="contains($text, '&#xa;')"/>
      <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, '&#xa;')"/>
      <br/>
      <xsl:call-template name="break">
          <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text,
'&#xa;')"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
	<xsl:value-of select="$text"/>
   </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Not tested.
