# Provide a flexible and easy to use Builder for creating XML markup.
# See XmlBuilder for usage details.

require 'builder/xmlbase'

module Builder

  # Create XML markup easily.  All (well, almost all) methods sent to
  # an XmlMarkup object will be translated to the equivalent XML
  # markup.  Any method with a block will be treated as an XML markup
  # tag with nested markup in the block.
  #
  # Examples will demonstrate this easier than words.  In the
  # following, +xm+ is an +XmlMarkup+ object.
  #
  #   xm.em("emphasized")             # => <em>emphasized</em>
  #   xm.em { xmm.b("emp & bold") }   # => <em><b>emph &amp; bold</b></em>
  #   xm.a("A Link", "href"=>"http://onestepback.org")
  #                                   # => <a href="http://onestepback.org">A Link</a>
  #   xm.div { br }                    # => <div><br/></div>
  #   xm.target("name"=>"compile", "option"=>"fast")
  #                                   # => <target option="fast" name="compile"\>
  #                                   # NOTE: order of attributes is not specified.
  #
  #   xm.instruct!                   # <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  #   xm.html {                      # <html>
  #     xm.head {                    #   <head>
  #       xm.title("History")        #     <title>History</title>
  #     }                            #   </head>
  #     xm.body {                    #   <body>
  #       xm.comment! "HI"           #     <!-- HI -->
  #       xm.h1("Header")            #     <h1>Header</h1>
  #       xm.p("paragraph")          #     <p>paragraph</p>
  #     }                            #   </body>
  #   }                              # </html>
  #
  # == Notes:
  #
  # * The order that attributes are inserted in markup tags is
  #   undefined. 
  #
  # * Sometimes you wish to insert text without enclosing tags.  Use
  #   the <tt>text!</tt> method to accomplish this.
  #
  #   Example:
  #
  #     xm.div {                          # <div>
  #       xm.text! "line"; xm.br          #   line<br/>
  #       xm.text! "another line"; xmbr   #    another line<br/>
  #     }                                 # </div>
  #
  # * The special XML characters <, >, and & are converted to &lt;,
  #   &gt; and &amp; automatically.  Use the <tt><<</tt> operation to
  #   insert text without modification.
  #
  # * Sometimes tags use special characters not allowed in ruby
  #   identifiers.  Use the <tt>tag!</tt> method to handle these
  #   cases.
  #
  #   Example:
  #
  #     xml.tag!("SOAP:Envelope") { ... }
  #
  #   will produce ...
  #
  #     <SOAP:Envelope> ... </SOAP:Envelope>"
  #
  #   <tt>tag!</tt> will also take text and attribute arguments (after
  #   the tag name) like normal markup methods.  (But see the next
  #   bullet item for a better way to handle XML namespaces).
  #   
  # * Direct support for XML namespaces is now available.  If the
  #   first argument to a tag call is a symbol, it will be joined to
  #   the tag to produce a namespace:tag combination.  It is easier to
  #   show this than describe it.
  #
  #     xml.SOAP :Envelope do ... end
  #
  #   Just put a space before the colon in a namespace to produce the
  #   right form for builder (e.g. "<tt>SOAP:Envelope</tt>" =>
  #   "<tt>xml.SOAP :Envelope</tt>")
  #
  # * XmlMarkup builds the markup in any object (called a _target_)
  #   that accepts the <tt><<</tt> method.  If no target is given,
  #   then XmlMarkup defaults to a string target.
  # 
  #   Examples:
  #
  #     xm = Builder::XmlMarkup.new
  #     result = xm.title("yada")
  #     # result is a string containing the markup.
  #
  #     buffer = ""
  #     xm = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(buffer)
  #     # The markup is appended to buffer (using <<)
  #
  #     xm = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(STDOUT)
  #     # The markup is written to STDOUT (using <<)
  #
  #     xm = Builder::XmlMarkup.new
  #     x2 = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target=>xm)
  #     # Markup written to +x2+ will be send to +xm+.
  #   
  # * Indentation is enabled by providing the number of spaces to
  #   indent for each level as a second argument to XmlBuilder.new.
  #   Initial indentation may be specified using a third parameter.
  #
  #   Example:
  #
  #     xm = Builder.new(:ident=>2)
  #     # xm will produce nicely formatted and indented XML.
  #  
  #     xm = Builder.new(:indent=>2, :margin=>4)
  #     # xm will produce nicely formatted and indented XML with 2
  #     # spaces per indent and an over all indentation level of 4.
  #
  #     builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target=>$stdout, :indent=>2)
  #     builder.name { |b| b.first("Jim"); b.last("Weirich) }
  #     # prints:
  #     #     <name>
  #     #       <first>Jim</first>
  #     #       <last>Weirich</last>
  #     #     </name>
  #
  # * The instance_eval implementation which forces self to refer to
  #   the message receiver as self is now obsolete.  We now use normal
  #   block calls to execute the markup block.  This means that all
  #   markup methods must now be explicitly send to the xml builder.
  #   For instance, instead of
  #
  #      xml.div { strong("text") }
  #
  #   you need to write:
  #
  #      xml.div { xml.strong("text") }
  #
  #   Although more verbose, the subtle change in semantics within the
  #   block was found to be prone to error.  To make this change a
  #   little less cumbersome, the markup block now gets the markup
  #   object sent as an argument, allowing you to use a shorter alias
  #   within the block.
  #
  #   For example:
  #
  #     xml_builder = Builder::XmlMarkup.new
  #     xml_builder.div { |xml|
  #       xml.stong("text")
  #     }
  #

    # option hash.
    #
    # :target=><em>target_object</em>::
    #    Object receiving the markup.  +out+ must respond to the
    #    <tt><<</tt> operator.  The default is a plain string target.
    # :indent=><em>indentation</em>::
    #    Number of spaces used for indentation.  The default is no
