Re: DOCBOOK: Representing CDATA sections

[Ian Atkin <Iana@Widelearning.com>]

have you looked at the Text Layout tab for <programlisting> on
Tools|Customisations?

XMetal applies whiteshapce handling rules each time you save, switch from
tags on to source view etc.

set the <programlisting> Text Layout options to "preserve space" and XMetaL
will stop mangling your whitespace
