Class: REXML::Formatters::Default

Prints out the XML document with no formatting — except if id_hack is set.

ie_hack:

If set to true, then inserts whitespace before the close of an empty tag, so that IE‘s bad XML parser doesn‘t choke.

# File rexml/formatters/default.rb, line 10
      def initialize( ie_hack=false )
        @ie_hack = ie_hack
      end

write( node, output )

Writes the node to some output.

node:	The node to write
output:	A class implementing `<<`. Pass in an Output object to change the output encoding.
