Implements an HTML/XHTML serializer supporting both DOM and SAX
pretty serializing. HTML/XHTML mode is determined in the
constructor. For usage instructions see Serializer .
If an output stream is used, the encoding is taken from the
output format (defaults to UTF-8). If a writer is
used, make sure the writer uses the same encoding (if applies)
as specified in the output format.
The serializer supports both DOM and SAX. DOM serializing is done
by calling serialize(Element) and SAX serializing is done by firing
SAX events and using the serializer as a document handler.
If an I/O exception occurs while serializing, the serializer
will not throw an exception directly, but only throw it
at the end of serializing (either DOM or SAX's endDocument() .
For elements that are not specified as whitespace preserving,
the serializer will potentially break long text lines at space
boundaries, indent lines, and serialize elements on separate
lines. Line terminators will be regarded as spaces, and
spaces at beginning of line will be stripped.
XHTML is slightly different than HTML:
Element/attribute names are lower case and case matters
Attributes must specify value, even if empty string
Empty elements must have '/' in empty tag
Contents of SCRIPT and STYLE elements serialized as CDATA
