Writes out a metatree-format XML file.

1	WriteMetatreeXML(XML, File)

`XML`	The XML file to write. Must be in format imported by ReadMetatreeXML.
`File`	Path to XML file to write.

The metatree XML format (Lloyd et al. 2016) is described in detail in the ReadMetatreeXML help file and is primarily used by the Metatree function. However, a user may also wish to edit an XML file in R and then write it to a file, and that is what this function does.

Nothing is returned, but a file is produced.

# Example read line:
#x <- ReadMetatreeXML("Rogers_etal_2012a.xml", Invisible = FALSE)

# Example write line:
#WriteMetatreeXML(x, "Rogers_etal_2012a.xml")
