Public Instance methods

clone()

write( output, indent=-1, transitive=false, ie_hack=false )

output: | Where to write the string
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.
transitive: | Who knows?
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.
