Pretty-printing does not work well for cases, however, where the
formatting in the XML document is significant. Examples of this
case are XHTML's <TT
	    >&lt;pre&gt;</TT
	    > tag, Docbook's <TT
	    >&lt;literallayout&gt;</TT
	    > tag,
and many more.
</P

	  >Theoretically, the document author could avoid this problem by
wrapping the contents of these tags in a &lt;![CDATA[...]]&gt; section,
but often this is not practical, for instance when the
literal-layout section contains other elements. Finally, program
writers could manually format these elements by transforming them
into a literal string in their CFliter, etc., but this is
annoying to do and prone to omissions and formatting errors.
