I've just had a complaint that cutting and pasting from a
programlisting containing callouts results in the numeric value
of the callout being pasted in the editor, e.g.
<phase id="chaps"> 3
<active pattern="chap.checks"/>
</phase>
where the 3 is the callout.
The suggestion was that the callout graphic be put into
escaped comments, e.g.
<phase id="chaps">
<active pattern="chap.checks"/>
</phase>
So that a reader could paste the examples without editing them.
Does that sound useful, or just lazy, to others?
I guess it's only of use to XML listings?
