Literal tab character in XML input to FrameMaker

Question

I am pretty sure I asked this before but I can't find the thread. I am using XSLT to transform XML to a FrameMaker table on import. I want a literal tab character at the end of the cells in one of the columns. Here is a snippet of my XSLT:

When the file opens in FrameMaker, I don't get the tab character:

If I substitute any other character for testing, it comes over. Any help will be appreciated.

So funny that you found that! I couldn't find it so that is why I reposted. But yes, that worked fine. Thank you Stefan!

To complete THIS post, here is the solution. In the [Preferences] section of maker.ini, change this

RemoveExtraWhiteSpacesOnXMLImport=On

to this

RemoveExtraWhiteSpacesOnXMLImport=Off
