NAME

       mtext_serialize - Serialize text properties in an M-text.

SYNOPSIS

       MText* mtext_serialize (MText * mt, int from, int to, MPlist * property_list)

DESCRIPTION

       Serialize text properties in an M-text. The mtext_serialize() function serializes the text between from and to in M-text mt.  The
       serialized result is an M-text in a form of XML.  property_list limits the text properties to be serialized. Only those text properties
       whose key

       o appears as the value of an element in property_list, and
       o has the symbol property Mtext_prop_serializer
       are serialized as a 'property' element in the resulting XML representation.
       The DTD of the generated XML is as follows:
       <!DOCTYPE mtext [
	 <!ELEMENT mtext (property*,body+)>
	 <!ELEMENT property EMPTY>
	 <!ELEMENT body (#PCDATA)>
	 <!ATTLIST property key CDATA #REQUIRED>
	 <!ATTLIST property value CDATA #REQUIRED>
	 <!ATTLIST property from CDATA #REQUIRED>
	 <!ATTLIST property to CDATA #REQUIRED>
	 <!ATTLIST property control CDATA #REQUIRED>
	]>
       This function depends on the libxml2 library. If the m17n library is configured without libxml2, this function always fails.
RETURN VALUE

	   If the operation was successful, mtext_serialize() returns an M-text in the form of XML. Otherwise it returns NULL and assigns an error
	   code to the external variable merror_code.
