class REXML::Formatters::Default

Public Class Methods

Source

# File lib/rexml/formatters/default.rb, line 12
def initialize( ie_hack=false )
  @ie_hack = ie_hack
end

Prints out the XML document with no formatting – except if ie_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.
