 * The XMLWriter class provides support for writing XML streams.
 * It contains methods for output XML elements with attributes.
 * 
 * Sample code:
 * <pre>
 *  KOXML_OSTREAM os (fname);
 *  XmlWriter xml (os); // writes the XML header
 *
 *  xml.startTag ("head"); // writes <head>
 *
 *  // write <layout format="a4" orientation="landscape">
 *  xml.startTag ("layout", false);
 *  xml.addAttribute ("format", "a4");
 *  xml.addAttribute ("orientation", "landscape");
 *  xml.closeTag (true);
 * </pre>
 *
 * @short     A helper class for writing XML.
