REXML/Amrita2 closing tag

[Vasyl Smirnov]

Hi,

I've noticed that Amrita2 (which uses REXML), automagically compresses
empty tags, for example:

<span></span>

becomes just

<span/>

Is there any way to turn this behavior off? It doesn't play well with
textarea tags, which must always be matched by a full closing tag (</
textarea>).

Thanks, and Merry Christmas to everyone.

It's sad. REXML looks like an almost abandoned project.
