+# Encoding
+Using the `encoding` feature, this library also allows to encode LDAP messages.
+
+While this uses the `ToDer`-Trait from the underlying `asn1-rs`-Crate,

+(the difference being primarily that DER requires explicit tagging,
+while the ASN.1 definition for LDAP requests implicit tagging)
