self-closing xml tags

[amandahugandkiss]

Is there a mechanism within quick-xml to capture elements (events) which are self-closing:

<Element DateUpdated="2022-11-19" DateCreated="2022-11-13"/>

I vaguely recall seeing notation that a start and end tag is required but cannot locate it at the moment and did scan the issues list unsucessfully.

Thank you.

Yes, of course. I assume that you enabled expand_empty_elements configuration option of a Reader which converts all Empty events to Start and End events.

Much appreciated -- clearly missed that detail. Thank you
