Making text render exatly how it is in the .xml file

[blues77]

Hi,

I'm really new to XML coding and I wondered is the a way using the DocBook DTD to have text rendered exactly as it is saved in a .xml file. For example if i have the text.

Sally sells seashells
by the seashore

Is there away to force the text to be displayed exactly as it is in the XML file. In this case it would have a newline character after the word "seashells". I have been foring this to happen by using <simplelist><member>some text</member></simplelist> but this is very tedious and time consuming. Any help is greatly apprecited.

Thanks
Mike

hi,

use:

<![CDATA[Sally sells seashells
by the seashore]]>

Text in the cdata section will stay exactly the way you typed it. you can even use special characters like & <>

Hi,

I tried you suggestion and it didn't work. I embedded this <![CDATA[some text
some some ]]> inside a <listitem> tag. Not sure if that might have cause dit not to work.
