.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This data type is used by
.B "ElementTree.string"(3kaya)
and
.B "ElementTree.lazyPrint"(3kaya)
to control the printing of empty elements (i.e. elements that are defined as empty, not merely elements that happen to have no content).
.PP
\fBSingleton \fP
or
\fBOpenAndClose \fP
are both usable in XML (
\fBSingleton \fP
is usually more readable). If you are using this module to generate HTML (or other non-XML-based markup languages) then
\fBImpliedSingleton \fP
should be used. The following list shows how each displays an empty
\fBbr \fP
element.
