Field Detail

### _format

    protected final OutputFormat _format

  Deprecated.
  The output format associated with this serializer. This will never be a null reference. If no format was passed to the constructor, the default one for this document type will be used. The format object is never changed by the serializer.

### _writer

    protected java.io.Writer _writer

  Deprecated.
  The writer to which the document is written.

### _dtdWriter

    protected java.io.StringWriter _dtdWriter

  Deprecated.
  The DTD writer. When we switch to DTD mode, all output is accumulated in this DTD writer. When we switch out of it, the output is obtained as a string. Must not be reset to null until we're done with the document.

### _docWriter

    protected java.io.Writer _docWriter

  Deprecated.
  Holds a reference to the document writer while we are in DTD mode.

### _exception

    protected java.io.IOException _exception

  Deprecated.
  Holds the exception thrown by the serializer. Exceptions do not cause the serializer to quit, but are held and one is thrown at the end.
