quote characters in the string.  If both single- and double-quote characters
are already in <em>data</em>, the double-quote characters will be encoded and <em>data</em>
will be wrapped in double-quotes.  The resulting string can be used directly
as an attribute value:</p>

the encoding of the output stream which defaults to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">'iso-8859-1'</span></tt>.
<em>short_empty_elements</em> controls the formatting of elements that contain no
content:  if <em>False</em> (the default) they are emitted as a pair of start/end
tags, if set to <em>True</em> they are emitted as a single self-closed tag.</p>
