Parameters: `doctype` - a `(name, pubid, sysid)` tuple that represents the DOCTYPE declaration that should be included at the top of the generated output, or the name of a DOCTYPE as defined in DocType.get `strip_whitespace` - whether extraneous whitespace should be stripped from the output `cache` - whether to cache the text output per event, which improves performance for repetitive markup Overrides: object.__init__ (inherited documentation)
