Yes, looks like #printOn: in XMLElement has everything in place for this scenario:

self    assert: '<ul><li> one</li><ul><li> two</li><ul><li> three</li><ul><li> four</li><li> four</li><ul><li> five</li><li> five</li><li> five</li></ul><li> four</li><li> four</li></ul><li> three</li><li> three</li></ul><li> two</li></ul></ul>    equals: xmlElement printString.

io := String streamContents: [:ios |     xmlElement printOn: ios].

Provided that XMLElement follows the usual conventions, you should also be able to simply say

io := xmlElement printString.

Hope that helps :-)

I am writing SUnit tests for my PEG grammar and I am not fluent in Streams.

I have my first test that checks the structure of an HTML UnorderedList. The output of the parse run is an XMLElement.

*testListUnordered                         <timeout: 10>         | xmlElement actor ios|

actor := PEGWikiMediaGeneratorTables new.         actor transcripton: false.         xmlElement := parser parse: 'UnorderedList' stream: (self listUnordered) reading actor: actor.         ios := ReadWriteStream on:''.         xmlElement printOn: ios.         self assert: ((ios contents) = '<ul><li> one</li><ul><li> two</li><ul><li> three</li><ul><li> four</li><li> four</li><ul><li> five</li><li> five</li><li> five</li></ul><li> four</li><li> four</li></ul><li> three</li><li> three</li></ul><li> two</li></ul></ul>') . *

Is there a simpler way, minus the Stream to get the "contents" of the XMLElement?

thanks in advance.
