XML (version 1.2-0)

toString.XMLNode: Creates string representation of XML node

Description

This creates a string from a hierarchical XML node and its children just as it prints on the console or one might see it in a document.

Usage

toString.XMLNode(x, ...)

Value

• A character vector with one element, that being the string corresponding to the XML node's contents.

Details

This uses a textConnection object using the name .tempXMLOutput. Since this is global, it will overwrite any existing object of that name! As a result, this function cannot be used recursively in its present form.
