pasteXMLTag: Write an XML tag

Usage

pasteXMLTag(tag, attr = NULL, child = NULL, empty = TRUE,
    level = 1, allow.empty = FALSE, rename = NULL,
    shine = 2, indent.by = "", tidy = TRUE)
tag{Character string, name of the XML tag.}
  attr{A list of attributes for the tag.}
  child{If empty=FALSE, a character string to
  be pasted as a child node between start and end tag.}
  empty{Logical,  or }
  level{Indentation level.}
  allow.empty{Logical, if FALSE, tags without
  attributes will not be returned.}
  rename{An optional named list if the attributes in
  XML need to be renamed from their list names in
  attr.  This list must in turn have a list element
  named after tag, containing named character
  elements, where the names represent the element names in
  attr and their values the names the XML attribute
  should get.}
  shine{Integer, controlling if the output should be
  formatted for better readability. Possible values:
  [object Object],[object Object],[object Object]}
  indent.by{A charachter string defining how
  indentation should be done. Defaults to tab.}
  tidy{Logical, if TRUE the special
  characters "<", "="">" and "&" will be replaced with the
  entities "<", ">" and "&" in attribute values.
  For comment or CDATA tags, if the text includes newline
  characters they will also be indented.}

A character string.
Creates a whole XML tag with attributes and, if it is a
  pair of start and end tags, also one object as child.
  This can be used recursively to create whole XML tree
  structures with this one function.
However, you will probably not want to use this function
  at all, as it is much more comfortable to create XML
  nodes or even nested trees with
  XMLNode and
  XMLTree, and then feed the
  result to pasteXML.
sample.XML.tag <- pasteXMLTag("a",
  attr=list(href="http://example.com", target="_blank"),
  child="klick here!",
  empty=FALSE)
XMLNode,
  XMLTree,
  pasteXML
