public class Format
extends java.lang.Object
Format
object is used to provide information on
how a generated XML document should be structured. The information
provided tells the formatter whether an XML prolog is required and
the number of spaces that should be used for indenting. The prolog
specified will be written directly before the XML document.
Should a Format
be created with an indent of zero or
less then no indentation is done, and the generated XML will be on
the same line. The prolog can contain any legal XML heading, which
can domain a DTD declaration and XML comments if required.
