Return the html string.
Call this after doing a '#visit:'.

o  stream
Return the stream the encoder encodes on.

initialization

Attention: Direct instance variable
access relies on this setting

private-accessing
o  setStream: aStream
Set a stream as the stream to print on.
Private - Use only for instance creation.

private-printing
o  attributeValuesPrintString: aRawObject
Print an attribute value or a list of attribute values.
aRawObject can be a string, a style object or a collection of those.

Print a single attribute given as an association
with key and value onto a stream.

The value sometimes can be a collection of values.

o  printAttributesOf: anElement
Print all set attributes of an
item onto the stream.

Attributes can be nil for no
attributes which is the default.

Otherwise will be key value pairs.
They are representated as 'key=value' in HTML.

o  printNewLineIndent
Print a carriage return and an indent
of length indent onto the stream,
but only if there is no inlining.

New line and indent are always printed
together. There is no newline without
