C.1.78 Element verbatim

C.1.78.1 Description

The enclosed text is displayed verbatim, specifically with linebreaks respected, and typically in a fixed-width font. Note that the element's content is not specially escaped. If you wish to include text which is meaningful to the SGML parser, you should either use entities such as &, or surround the text with a CDATA marked section. Note also that you should not rely on consistency between different down-converters as regards respecting or ignoring leading whitespace in any line.
