Expand description
Pseudo-XML emitter, byte-identical to docutils document.pformat().
Rules (probed against docutils 0.22.4, see the wave-1 probe notes):
- Element line: 4-space indent per depth,
<kind attrs>, no closing tags. - Attributes: the five list attributes (backrefs/classes/dupnames/ids/ names, empty ones suppressed) merge with scalar attributes into ONE alphabetically-sorted sequence. Scalars always print.
- NO XML escaping anywhere. List-attribute items go through docutils
serial_escape(\->\\, then\) and join with a space. - Text nodes: each line of the text on its own line at child indent.
- Every emitted line ends with
\n.
