<H1><A NAME="description">DESCRIPTION</A></H1>
<P>Base element class for XML elements. To be derived from to create your own
elements for use with the XML::Parser module. Supports output of empty
elements using <.... />.</P>
<P>It is recommended that you use a
version of the XML::Parser module which includes support for Styles; by
deriving your own elements from XML::Element and using the 'Objects' style it
becomes <STRONG>much</STRONG> easier to create your own parser.</P>

<DD>
Adds character data to the end of the element. The element created is placed
within the same package space as the element it was created under (e.g. adding
text to a XML::Foobar::Stuff element would put the character data into an
XML::Foobar::Characters element). If successful, this method returns a
reference to the newly created element.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_as_text">as_text</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
Returns a string value containing the entire XML document from this element on
down.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_content">content</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
Returns a string value containing the entire content of this XML element. Note
that this is quite similar to the <A HREF="#item_as_text"><CODE>as_text()</CODE></A> method except that it does not
include any information about this element in particular.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_output">output</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
Recursively outputs the structure of the XML document from this element on
down.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_add_child">add_child ($elemref)</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
Adds the child element to the list of children for this element. Note that the
element given must be a reference to an object derived from <CODE>XML::Element</CODE>.
<P></P>
<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_remove_child">remove_child ($elemref)</A></STRONG><BR>
<DD>
Removes the given child element from the list of children for this element.
This method returns non-zero if it is able to locate and remove the child
element, returning zero if it is unable to do so.
<P></P></DL>
<P>
<HR>
<H1><A NAME="limitations">LIMITATIONS</A></H1>
<P>The <CODE>XML::Element</CODE> module has no provisions for outputting processor
directives or external entities. It only outputs child elements and any
character data which the elements may contain.</P>
