Description
Sometimes in tyxml apps one receives a pre-formatted string that is rendered with white-space: pre;.
At the moment, the only way to handle this case is by disabling indentation for whole tree altogether. It'd be nice to add an option to txt to honour new lines and other whitespace specifically for a single text element.

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation of txt and the existing option that disables indentation for the whole tree. Add a per-text-element option that preserves newlines and other whitespace for pre-formatted strings while keeping current behavior by default; verify both modes with the relevant existing tests.
