#write(output = $stdout, indent = -1,, transitive = false, ie_hack = false) ⇒ Object

Generates XML output of this object

output

Where to write the string. Defaults to $stdout

indent

An integer. If -1, no indenting will be used; otherwise, the indentation will be this number of spaces, and children will be indented an additional amount. Defaults to -1.

transitive

If transitive is true and indent is >= 0, then the output will be pretty-printed in such a way that the added whitespace does not affect the absolute value of the document -- that is, it leaves the value and number of Text nodes in the document unchanged.

ie_hack

Internet Explorer is the worst piece of crap to have ever been written, with the possible exception of Windows itself. Since IE is unable to parse proper XML, we have to provide a hack to generate XML that IE's limited abilities can handle. This hack inserts a space before the /> on empty tags.

Examples c = CData.new( " Some text " ) c.write( $stdout ) #->
