 * If I use the following code:
 * pre lang=”xml” escaped=”true”><Biml xmlns="[http://schemas.varigence.com/biml.xsd"&gt](http://schemas.varigence.com/biml.xsd"&gt);
   
   <Packages> <Package Name="Hello World" ConstraintMode="Linear"> </Package> </
   Packages> </Biml>
 * Everything is left justified and the tabs are ignored. How do I preserve the 
   spacing? I’ve tried using the code: to no avail.

 * Incidentally, there should be “tabbing” in the above code. the line with the 
   tag of Packages should be one indent (or tab) and Package Name…. should be two.
 * Any ideas?

 * Oh god, nevermind. I just realized that I neglected the “Less Than” symbol before
   the pre. Face-Palm. Sorry.
