Re: DOCBOOK: Element for literal "passthrough"?

Interesting. Have you considered using XSLT instead of DSSSL? I believe
that you'd get the "right" answer if your "tangle" transformation used
the "text" output method.

In DSSSL, I'd be tempted to examine each character in the output and
do the right thing without the <literalchar> hack. It'd be slower,
probably, but so much cleaner :-)
