A hybrid or compromise that I have used (mostly in javascript) is to write a
function that returns a well-formed element as a string - for example,
function element(name,content)
Thus
var fragment=element('div','This is a div')
// returns "<div>This is a div</div>"
You can use this recursively and always get well-formed text out -
var frag2=element('div', element('div','This is a nested div'))
// returns <div><div>This is a nested div</div></div>
And of course you can concatenate to get siblings or mixed content.
This approach knows nothing about DTDs but it is convenient, well-formed,
and a lot better than printf.
Cheers,

| "<rss:title>" + diaryTitle + "</rss:title>\n<rss:link>" +
| diaryLink + "</rss:link>\n" +
| "<rss:description>" + diaryDesc + "</rss:description>\n";

Did you really expect better? Really, Elliotte, you have a big heart. :-)
