Hello,

I am using REXML to create XML documents but I am facing a problem: I canno=
t=20
add XML childs.

I want to create a parent element with REXML, then add a bunch of XML as a=
=20
children (I already have that XML). I would like to do something like this:

xml =3D REXML::Element.new('parent')
xml.add_xml_element('<child><attrib1>value1</attrib1><attrib2>value2</attri=
b2></child>')

Then xml.to_s would output:=20
<parent><child><attrib1>value1</attrib1><attrib2>value2</attrib2></child></=
parent>

I have tried with REXML::Element#add_element, but it adds an extra '<' befo=
re=20
the child:
<parent><<child><attrib1>value1</attrib1><attrib2>value2</attrib2></child><=
/parent>

Am I trying something impossible?

Thank you.

xml = REXML::Element.new('parent')
xml.add_xml_element('<child><attrib1>value1</attrib1><attrib2>value2</attrib2></child>')

Then xml.to_s would output:
<parent><child><attrib1>value1</attrib1><attrib2>value2</attrib2></child></parent>

# »Element« for creating tags:
parent = REXML::Element.new('parent')
# »Document« for XML input:
child = REXML:ocument.new('<child><attrib1>value1</attrib1></child>')

parent << child
parent.to_s
