Re: [docbook] Line breaks and <literallayout>

["Bob Stayton" <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Literallayout in HTML output should have a <br> at the end of each line, 
which will display the line breaks in the browser.  White space is another 
matter, as white space is only preserved inside <pre> elements in HTML, but 
that uses a monospace font.  If you want that, then use programlisting 
instead of literallayout.
