+	  <para>Keep in mind that <literal>&lt;</literal> and
+	    <literal>&amp;</literal> still are recognized as special
+	    characters in pre-formatted text.  This is why the example
+	    shown had to use <literal>&amp;lt;</literal> instead of
+	    <literal>&lt;</literal>.  For consistency,
+	    <literal>&amp;gt;</literal> was used in place of
+	    <literal>&gt;</literal>, too.  Watch out for the special characters
+	    that may appear in text copied from a plain-text source,
+	    e.g., an e-mail message or program code.</para>
