:relfileprefix: ../../../
:mrdocs:

Decrement the indent level and add the closing tag for the element of the specified `name` to the specified `stream`, with formatting depending on the specified `state`, and update `state` accordingly. Return the `stream`. If the element does not have content, write `/>` and a newline into stream. Otherwise, write `</name>` and a newline. If this `</name>` does not share the same line with data, or it follows another element's closing tag, indent properly before writing `</name>` and the newline. If `name` is root element, flush the output stream. The behavior is undefined if `name` is not the most recently opened element that's yet to be closed.
