That is really interesting. If I do that, then I get the
symbols converted, so:

 <b> --> &lt;b&gt;

which is not quite what I am after as I am feeding the 
output to HTML.

Do you know if there is a way of turning the processing
off for a section, within REXML?  I thought that the
:raw attribute might do the trick, however I haven't 
been able to get it to work the way I want it to. :-)

Thanks for your help.
