Hi Laramie I'm CC'ing the dom4j-dev list to see if others have any ideas. You raise an interesting problem that I'd not considered before. Maybe the XMLWriter and HTMLWriter could be refactored a bit so that the trimming mode is enabled/disabled based on which element its inside. e.g. the OutputFormat could get its trimtext mode swizzled based on the element name, so that pre, script, style tags always come out without trimtext.
Do you fancy having a play with the source and trying to implement what you need?
