=head1 NAME

PPM::XML::Element - Base element class for XML elements

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use PPM::XML::Element;
 @ISA = qw( PPM::XML::Element );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Base element class for XML elements.  To be derived from to create your own
elements for use with the XML::Parser module.  Supports output of empty
elements using <.... />.

It is recommended that you use a version of the XML::Parser module which 
includes support for Styles; by deriving your own elements from 
PPM::XML::Element and using the 'Objects' style it becomes B<much> easier 
to create your own parser.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item add_text ($text)

Adds character data to the end of the element.  The element created is placed
within the same package space as the element it was created under (e.g. adding
text to a XML::Foobar::Stuff element would put the character data into an
XML::Foobar::Characters element).  If successful, this method returns a
reference to the newly created element.

=item as_text

Returns a string value containing the entire XML document from this element on
down.

=item content

Returns a string value containing the entire content of this XML element.  Note
that this is quite similar to the C<as_text()> method except that it does not
include any information about this element in particular.

=item output

Recursively outputs the structure of the XML document from this element on
down.

=item add_child ($elemref)

Adds the child element to the list of children for this element.  Note that
the element given must be a reference to an object derived from 
C<PPM::XML::Element>.

=item remove_child ($elemref)

Removes the given child element from the list of children for this element.
This method returns non-zero if it is able to locate and remove the child
element, returning zero if it is unable to do so.

=back

=head1 LIMITATIONS

The C<PPM::XML::Element> module has no provisions for outputting processor
directives or external entities.  It only outputs child elements and any
character data which the elements may contain.
