I need to write a empty, nested element within an XML file. An XML example of what I’d like to achieve is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Problem>
<elementA>14</elementA>
<elementB>
<child/>
</elementB>
</Problem>
The nested element in this case is called "child". I expected the following MATLAB code to produce this result:
s.elementA = 14;
s.elementB.child = [];
writestruct(s,’test.xml’,’StructNodeName’,’Problem’)
However, this generates the following XML, whereupon the "child" element is entirely missing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Problem>
<elementA>14</elementA>
<elementB/>
</Problem>
