(See \fIxmerl\&.hrl\fR for the record definitions\&.) Text in \fI#xmlText{}\fR elements can be deep lists of characters and/or binaries\&.
.LP
\fIRootAttributes\fR is a list of \fI#xmlAttribute{}\fR attributes for the \fI#root#\fR element, which implicitly becomes the parent of the given \fIContent\fR\&. The tag-handler function for \fI#root#\fR is thus called with the complete exported data of \fIContent\fR\&. Root attributes can be used to specify e\&.g\&. encoding or other metadata of an XML or HTML document\&.
.LP
The \fICallback\fR module should contain hook functions for all tags present in the data structure\&. A hook function must have the following format:
.nf
Tag(Data, Attributes, Parents, E)
.fi
.LP
where \fIE\fR is the corresponding \fI#xmlElement{}\fR, \fIData\fR is the already-exported contents of \fIE\fR and \fIAttributes\fR is the list of \fI#xmlAttribute{}\fR records of \fIE\fR\&. Finally, \fIParents\fR is the list of parent nodes of \fIE\fR, on the form \fI[{ParentTag::atom(), ParentPosition::integer()}]\fR\&.
.LP
The hook function should return either the data to be exported, or a tuple \fI{\&'#xml-alias#\&', NewTag::atom()}\fR, or a tuple \fI{\&'#xml-redefine#\&', Content}\fR, where \fIContent\fR is a content list (which can be on simple-form; see \fIexport_simple/2\fR for details)\&.
.LP
A callback module can inherit definitions from other callback modules, through the required function \fI\&'#xml-interitance#() -> [ModuleName::atom()]\fR\&.

\fISee also:\fR export/2, export_simple/3\&.

Normal-form XML elements can thus be included in the simple-form representation\&. Note that content lists must be flat\&. An \fIIOString\fR is a (possibly deep) list of characters and/or binaries\&.

See \fIexport/3\fR for details on the callback module and the root attributes\&. The XML-data is always converted to normal form before being passed to the callback module\&.
