Public Class Methods

new( ie_hack=false ) click to toggle source

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

 
               # File rexml/formatters/default.rb, line 10
def initialize( ie_hack=false )
  @ie_hack = ie_hack
end
