\name{toString.XMLNode}
\alias{toString.XMLNode}
\title{Creates string representation of XML node}
\description{
This creates a string from a hierarchical XML node and its children
just as it prints on the console or one might see it in
a document.
}
\usage{
\method{toString}{XMLNode}(x, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{an object of class \code{XMLNode}.}
\item{\dots}{currently ignored}
}
\details{
This uses a textConnection object using the name
.tempXMLOutput. Since this is global, it will overwrite
any existing object of that name! As a result, this
function cannot be used recursively in its present form.
}
\value{
A character vector with one element, that being the
string corresponding to the XML node's contents.
