[Question] Mixing custom serializer with one from the builder

[bootzin]

Is it possible to combine a custom serializer with one from the builder?

For instance: I have a class in my code which I want to do some manual serialization. So I go about adding mappings and sequences, but then there's a subclass in it which I don't want to serialize manually, and would rather call serializer.Serialize(currentEmitter, subclass)

The problem is, when I do this, I end up with an exception since the serializer calls DocumentStart and StreamStart, but the emitter is expecting a Scalar, Sequence, Mapping or Alias

So, is there a way to call the serializer so that it adds to an already existing emitter?

Sorry for the late answer. You can use the BuildValueSerializer method of the builder to get an IValueSerializer instance, which only emits the "content" of the focument, not the DocumentStart / StreamStart.
