Writing element content uses many of the same steps we used above

— parsing the document and walking the tree. We parse the document,

then traverse the tree to find the place we want to insert our element. For

this example, we want to again find the "storyinfo" element and

this time insert a keyword. Then we'll write the file to disk. Full code:

<a href="ape.html" title="E.�Code for Add Keyword Example">Appendix�E, <i>Code for Add Keyword Example</i></a></p><p>

The main difference in this example is in

<tt class="function">parseStory</tt>:

</p><pre class="programlisting">

void

parseStory (xmlDocPtr doc, xmlNodePtr cur, char *keyword) {

<a name="addkeyword"></a><img src="images/callouts/1.png" alt="1" border="0"> xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, "keyword", keyword);

return;

}

</pre><p>

</p><div class="calloutlist"><table border="0" summary="Callout list"><tr><td width="5%" valign="top" align="left"><a href="#addkeyword"><img src="images/callouts/1.png" alt="1" border="0"></a> </td><td valign="top" align="left"><p>The <tt class="function"><a href="http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#XMLNEWTEXTCHILD" target="_top">xmlNewTextChild</a></tt>

function adds a new child element at the

current node pointer's location in the

tree, specified by <tt class="varname">cur</tt>.</p></td></tr></table></div><p>

</p><p>

Once the node has been added, we would like to write the document to

file. Is you want the element to have a namespace, you can add it here as

well. In our case, the namespace is NULL.

</p><pre class="programlisting">

xmlSaveFormatFile (docname, doc, 1);

</pre><p>

The first parameter is the name of the file to be written. You'll notice

it is the same as the file we just read. In this case, we just write over

the old file. The second parameter is a pointer to the xmlDoc

structure. Setting the third parameter equal to one ensures indenting on output.
