#include <C_CkXml.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    BOOL success;

    HCkXml xml;

    success = FALSE;

    // The Scrub method has options for trimming whitespace from the ends of attributes and content,
    // trimming inside whitespace, and for case conversion for tags and attribute names.

    // Trimming inside whitespace is defined as replacing CR, LF, and tab chars with SPACE chars, and 
    // removing extra SPACE chars so that at most one SPACE separates non-SPACE chars.

    // For example, load the following XML:

    s = "<xyz><td class=\" colHoldingPercent col7\" style=\"border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);               border-image-outset: 0;  \"> abc\r\n123    456</td></xyz>";

    xml = CkXml_Create();
    success = CkXml_LoadXml(xml,s);

    printf("%s\n",CkXml_getXml(xml));

    // The XML before scrubbing is:

    // <xyz>
    //     <td class=" colHoldingPercent col7" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);               border-image-outset: 0;  ">abc
    // 123    456</td>
    // </xyz>

    CkXml_Scrub(xml,"AttrTrimEnds,AttrTrimInside,ContentTrimEnds,ContentTrimInside");
    printf("%s\n",CkXml_getXml(xml));

    // The XML after scrubbing is:

    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // <xyz>
    //     <td class="colHoldingPercent col7" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-image-outset: 0;">abc 123 456</td>
    // </xyz>
