\title{Parse an XML document with options controlling the parser.}

\description{
This function is a generalization of \code{\link{xmlParse}}
that parses an XML document.  With this function, we can specify
a combination of different options that control the operation of the
parser. The options control many different aspects the parsing process
 
}
\usage{
xmlParseDoc(file, options = 1L, encoding = character(), asText = !file.exists(file), baseURL = file)
}
\arguments{
  \item{file}{the name of the file or URL or the XML content itself}
  \item{options}{options controlling the behavior of the parser}
  \item{encoding}{character string that provides the encoding of the
    document if it is not explicitly contained within the document itself.}
  \item{asText}{a logical value indicating whether \code{file} is the
    XML content (\code{TRUE}) or the name of a file or URL (\code{FALSE})}
  \item{baseURL}{the base URL used for resolving relative documents,
    e.g. XIncludes. This is important if \code{file} is the actual XML
    content rather than a URL}
}
\value{
 An object of class \code{XMLInternalDocument}.
