What is the equivalent of <p;re> in xml? I have seen it in books from
Bookshare. They also use <code> I ignore pre and give code the semantic
action code , which calls special functions for handling computer
programs. That reminds me of another problem. Some programs are so long
that they cause a buffer oferrun. There is a function that works for
"formatFor textDevice" that divides such long text node into pieces.
However, this is impractical in utd.
