Hey Marc
Then this will work fine - it will write out all markup and will ignore the
opening <intro> tag.
Element intro = ...;
Writer out = new FileWriter( "foo.xml" );
for ( Iterator iter = intro.nodeIterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Node node = (Node) iter.next();
node.write( out );
}
The write() method will write the child node of <intro> as XML to the given
Writer. If you wish to change the output format, such as introducing pretty
printing or trimming whitespace then you could use an XML Writer. e.g.
Element intro = ...;
Writer out = new FileWriter( "foo.xml" );
// use pretty printing
OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter ( out, format );
for ( Iterator iter = intro.nodeIterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Node node = (Node) iter.next();
writer.write( node );
}

I'm after all of the XML as a single string including markup and any
content at the root level of the node.
Sorry i wasn't clear.
