                              DataContent

A magic attribute that allows character content to be added to a structure.

You can configure it with all the arguments available for UnicodeAttribute.

Since parsers may call characters with an empty string for empty elements, the empty string will not be fed (i.e., the default will be preserved). This makes setting an empty string as an element content impossible (you could use DataContent with strip=True, though), but that's probably not a problem.
