Method Name
Description
Example

CloseTag Closes the last open tag. myXML.CloseTag
CloseAllTags Closes all open tags since the creation of the instance. myXML.CloseAllTags
AddAttribute(attributeName, attributeValue) Adds an attribute to the last open tag, can be called as much times as the tags we need to add. myXML.AddAttribute "name", "Rami")
AddData(data)

Adds data to the last open tag.

Note: this method detects automatically if the data need CDATA section or no.

 myXML.AddData "To be or not to be"
QuickTag(tagName, tagData) This is for quick information, opens a tag named "tagName", adds the data, then closes the tag. myXML.QuickTag "Quote", "An apple a day keeps the doctor away :-)"
