Only use this if you do not want the XML declaration to be written; this object is ignored by the XML writer. Otherwise, instantiate your own XMLDecl and add it to the document.

Note that XML 1.1 documents must include an XML declaration

# File lib/rexml/xmldecl.rb, line 92
def XMLDecl.default
  rv = XMLDecl.new( "1.0" )
  rv.nowrite
  rv
end

new(version=DEFAULT_VERSION, encoding=nil, standalone=nil) click to toggle source

Calls superclass method REXML::Child::new

def initialize(version=DEFAULT_VERSION, encoding=nil, standalone=nil)
  @writethis = true
  @writeencoding = !encoding.nil?
  if version.kind_of? XMLDecl
    super()
    @version = version.version
    self.encoding = version.encoding
    @writeencoding = version.writeencoding
