No.

I think I understand programlisting and I'm fairly sure that is not what 
I'm after.  -  At least I don't think so.

Suppose that I have DocBook (XML) source that would generate (process 
XML in to HTML) the following line of HTML:

<html><head><title>Example</title></head><body><p>This is a sample 
paragraph</p></body></html>

Where as I would rather the lines be something like this HTML (leading 
white space optional):

<html>
   <head>
     <title>Example</title>
   </head>
   <body>
     <p>This is a sample paragraph</p>
   </body>
</html>

This way if I have an article that is many (large) paragraphs long, I 
don't end up with HTML source that one line of thousands of characters 
long.  Rather I end up with multiple shorter lines.
