This class implements the :class:`ContentHandler` interface by writing SAX
events back into an XML document. In other words, using an :class:`XMLGenerator`
as the content handler will reproduce the original document being parsed. *out*
should be a file-like object which will default to *sys.stdout*. *encoding* is
the encoding of the output stream which defaults to ``'iso-8859-1'``.
+ *short_empty_elements* controls the formatting of elements that contain no
+ content: if *False* (the default) they are emitted as a pair of start/end
+ tags, if set to *True* they are emitted as a single self-closed tag.
