  <p>Serialize an element to an encoded string representation of its XML
tree.</p>
<p>Defaults to ASCII encoding without XML declaration.  This
behaviour can be configured with the keyword arguments 'encoding'
(string) and 'xml_declaration' (bool).  Note that changing the
encoding to a non UTF-8 compatible encoding will enable a
declaration by default.</p>
<p>You can also serialise to a Unicode string without declaration by
passing the <tt class="rst-docutils literal">unicode</tt> function as encoding (or <tt class="rst-docutils literal">str</tt> in Py3),
or the name 'unicode'.  This changes the return value from a byte
string to an unencoded unicode string.</p>
<p>The keyword argument 'pretty_print' (bool) enables formatted XML.</p>
<p>The keyword argument 'method' selects the output method: 'xml',
'html', plain 'text' (text content without tags) or 'c14n'.
Default is 'xml'.</p>
<p>The <tt class="rst-docutils literal">exclusive</tt> and <tt class="rst-docutils literal">with_comments</tt> arguments are only used
with C14N output, where they request exclusive and uncommented
C14N serialisation respectively.</p>
<p>Passing a boolean value to the <tt class="rst-docutils literal">standalone</tt> option will output
an XML declaration with the corresponding <tt class="rst-docutils literal">standalone</tt> flag.</p>
<p>The <tt class="rst-docutils literal">doctype</tt> option allows passing in a plain string that will
be serialised before the XML tree.  Note that passing in non
well-formed content here will make the XML output non well-formed.
Also, an existing doctype in the document tree will not be removed
when serialising an ElementTree instance.</p>
<p>You can prevent the tail text of the element from being serialised
by passing the boolean <tt class="rst-docutils literal">with_tail</tt> option.  This has no impact
on the tail text of children, which will always be serialised.</p>
