\title{ Extraces the tag name of an XMLNode object.}
\description{
Each XMLNode object has an element or tag name introduced
in the \code{<name ...>} entry in an XML document.
This function returns that name.
We can also set that name using \code{xmlName(node) <- "name"}
and the value can have an XML name space prefix, e.g.
\code{"r:name"}.
}
\usage{
xmlName(node, full = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{node}{The XMLNode object whose tag name is being requested.}
\item{full}{a logical value indicating whether to prepend the
namespace prefix, if there is one, or return just the
name of the XML element/node. \code{TRUE} means prepend the prefix.}
}
\value{
A character vector of length \textit{1}
which is the \code{node$name} entry.
