RE: [xml] Self terminating tags

[Brett Robichaud <brobichaud digimarc com>]

Ouch.  Overworked or what Daniel?  Is this mailing list not designed for
basic questions such as mine?

Someone else on this mailing list was kind enough to point me in exactly the
right direction.  That is to use xmlNewChild() with a NULL content argument.
Simple and painless.

While I can appreciate you may get many requests for info Daniel, I don't
appreciate your tone.
