Subject: Re: [docbook] Line spacing


I am aware of the literallayout tag. However, it preserves every thing 
inside the tag like extra spaces. That's why I am trying avoid using it. 
On the other hand, using a processing instruction like <?break-line?> is 
not going to work, because I am not writing a docbook document directly. 
I am writing a template (xslt) that will generate a docbook. And I 
couldn't find a way to output <?break?> from the xslt to the docbook the 
way it's for further processing.
