Aye. Is this the kind of dirt you were thinking of?
Qt Code: 
  1. QString MainWindow::makeTextFromElement(QDomElement e) {
  2.     QString tag = e.tagName();
  3.     bool addTag = !e.tagName().isEmpty();
  4.     QString output = "";
  5.     if (addTag) output = "<" + e.tagName();
  6.     QDomNamedNodeMap atts = e.attributes();
  7.     int len = atts.length();
  8.     for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
  9.         QString name = atts.item(i).toAttr().name();
  10.         QString value = atts.item(i).toAttr().value();
  11.         output += " " + name + "=\"" + value + "\"";
  12.     }
  13.     if (addTag) output += ">";
  14.     QDomNodeList children = e.childNodes();
  15.     len = children.length();
  16.     for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
  17.         output += makeTextFromElement(children.item(i).toElement());
  18.     }
  19.     output += e.text();
  20.     if (addTag) output += "</" + e.tagName() + ">";
  21.     return output;
  22. }
