xml_new_document

Create a new document, possibly with a root node

Description

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"
)

Arguments

`version`	The version number of the document.
`encoding`	The character encoding to use in the document. The default encoding is ‘UTF-8’. Available encodings are specified at http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-encoding.html#xmlCharEncoding.
`.value`	node to insert.
`...`	If named attributes or namespaces to set on the node, if unnamed text to assign to the node.
`.copy`	whether to copy the `.value` before replacing. If this is `FALSE` then the node will be moved from it's current location.
`.version`	The version number of the document, passed to `xml_new_document(version)`.
`.encoding`	The encoding of the document, passed to `xml_new_document(encoding)`.

Value

A xml_document object.
