"white-space: pre" in the CSS. "xml:space (default|preserve) #FIXED preserve" in the DTD (For the DocBook DTD, it is done by including entity ../preservespace.ent) For more details, see http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/faq.html#pre PS: Tip: Ctrl-Enter can be used to split a verbatim, like Enter is used to split a para.
