I'm not all that familiar with using XML; just the basics, but I imported a DTD and I have it working, but the XML document I'm trying to re-create, only has the end/close tag for each field with no value. My output from the TX type tree (8.1), has the open and close tag for each field regardless of content.

Looking at the field types, it shows them set to XML and fields I have never seen in a type tree before, and some I can't change (Mixed=false, abstract=false).

What I need to know is if there is a way to only produce the close/end tag for fields without values.

Thanks!

If you are using a xerces based xml tree, you can not create empty elements with closed/end tag, if you use classic tree you can do it by using empty type syntax property

If your output is optional then if you have your NONE at the right level (Element level usually) then it won't output empty tags.
