Which feature flag in DOMWriter controls outputting as or 

Hi all,

   Sorry that I couldn't remember the W3C name for this feature. 
Essentially, if element foo has an empty content model, I would like 
DOMWriter to output <foo> instead of <foo></foo>. I know that they are 
equivalent but I prefer the former syntax...

   I don't think any of these flags change that behavior

     // Introduced in DOM Level 3
     // DOMWriter feature
     static const XMLCh fgDOMWRTCanonicalForm[];
     static const XMLCh fgDOMWRTDiscardDefaultContent[];
     static const XMLCh fgDOMWRTEntities[];
     static const XMLCh fgDOMWRTFormatPrettyPrint[];
     static const XMLCh fgDOMWRTNormalizeCharacters[];
     static const XMLCh fgDOMWRTSplitCdataSections[];
     static const XMLCh fgDOMWRTValidation[];
     static const XMLCh fgDOMWRTWhitespaceInElementContent[];
     static const XMLCh fgDOMWRTBOM[];
     static const XMLCh fgDOMXMLDeclaration[];

Any idea please?

Thanks, Han Ming

Alberto,
	Xerces-2.5

	Thanks for checking. Maybe the element has a Text children that is a 
zero-length string because it is still showing <foo></foo>. I'll play 
around.

Cheers.

Hi Han Ming,
by looking at the current sources for DOMWriterImpl, it already writes 
<foo/> if the element has no children. What version of Xerces are you using?
