name - The element name.

textState - The current text state values.

htmlAttribs - The element attributes.

addIndent - Indicates if the element can be indented.

childIndent - Indicates if the child indent should be applied.

Returns

The HTML element begin tag.

Syntax

Gets the element begin tag.

Remarks

GetBegin() is an "GetText" method which creates the element opening tag with GetCreate() and returns the text value.
Note: One should set the "addIndent" parameter to false when adding text to the builder after getting the text with a "GetText" method. This is because the the indent has already been added with the "GetText" method.

Example

// Root Method Begin
var textState = new TextState();

// Defaults: IndentCharCount = 2, LineLimit = 80, WrapEnabled = false.
var xb = new XMLBuilder(textState);

// Example Method:
var attribs = new Attributes()
{
{ "name", "Someone" },
};
var result = xb.GetBegin("Person", textState, attribs);

// result:
// <Person name="Someone">
