xml_new_document: Create a new document, possibly with a root node

xml_new_document creates only a new document without a root node. In most cases you should instead use xml_new_root, which creates a new document and assigns the root node in one step.

Usage

xml_new_document(version = "1.0", encoding = "UTF-8")
xml_new_root(.value, ..., .copy = inherits(.value, "xml_node"), .version = "1.0", .encoding = "UTF-8")
