The doc's give an example of entirely overwriting the output. All I really wanna do is append another tag. I've tried using various combinations of super, but super is returning a string. Is it possible then, at least to get an example of how to override xml using super, and appending a tag? I've been working on this for the past 3 hrs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
