>The preferred method for rendering a <TT

></TT

></TT
>
is by using the pretty printing facility defined in <A HREF = "Pretty.html"
>Pretty</A
>.
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
><pre></TT
> tag, Docbook's <TT
><literallayout></TT
> tag,
and many more.
</P
><P
>Theoretically, the document author could avoid this problem by
wrapping the contents of these tags in a <![CDATA[...]]> 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.
</P
><P
>As an alternative, this module provides the function <TT
><A HREF = "Text.XML.HaXml.Verbatim.html#v%3Averbatim"

which will format XML <TT
><A HREF = "Text.XML.HaXml.Types.html#t%3AContent"
>Content</A

formatting of the input document unchanged.
