Re: browsing text elements

[Matthew MacKenzie <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,
How about using a one column, one row table with a pre tag inside, like:

<table border="0">
  <tr>
    <td align="middle" valign="top">
     <pre><xsl:value-of select="text"></pre>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>


???

Maybe, maybe not.
