serialise to plain text without markup.
To leave out the tail text of the top-level element that is being
serialised, pass ``with_tail=False``.
The ``doctype`` option allows passing in a plain string that will
be serialised before the XML tree. Note that passing in non
well-formed content here will make the XML output non well-formed.
Also, an existing doctype in the document tree will not be removed
