<xmlDocument variable>.BuildString (Function)

In french: <Variable xmlDocument>.ConstruitChaîne

Retrieves and formats the content of an XML document.

The corresponding character string can be saved as an XML file by fSaveText. Reminder: fSaveText creates a text file in ANSI format. To create a Unicode text file, use fOpen / fWrite.

In the final XML document, the list of attributes is sorted in alphabetical order.

If the XML document to format contains the declaration of an internal DTD, the description of this DTD will not be transcribed in the final XML document.
