With the SGML backend you can use the non-standard formatting-instruction
flow object class to insert arbitrary text strings into the output, for
example,

(element p
    (sosofo-append
        (formatting-instruction data: "&#RE;")
        (process-children)))

Note that \n is not recognized as a newline character--you either need to
do as I do above and use &#RE; or actually embed a newline in the string.
You must declare the formatting-instruction flow object class before using
it:

(declare-flow-object-class formatting-instruction
  "UNREGISTERED::James Clark//Flow Object Class::formatting-instruction")
