set xml = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Xml")

'  If autoTrim is 1, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
'  For example:
autoTrim = 1
success = xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.GetXml()) & "</pre>"

'  Output is:
'  (notice the SPACE chars before and after "xyz" are trimmed)

'  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
'  <abc>
'      <xyz>123</xyz>
'  </abc>

'  If autoTrim is 0, then the content inside leaf elements are not trimmed.
autoTrim = 0
success = xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.GetXml()) & "</pre>"

'  Output is:

'  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
'  <abc>
'      <xyz>  123   </xyz>
'  </abc>

'  The EmitCompact property controls whether XML is emitted indented (pretty-printed)
'  or compact.  For example:

'  Auto-trim + emit compact:
autoTrim = 1
success = xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
xml.EmitCompact = 1
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.GetXml()) & "</pre>"

'  Output is:

'  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
'  <abc><xyz>123</xyz></abc>

'  No Auto-trim + emit compact:
autoTrim = 0
success = xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
xml.EmitCompact = 1
Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( xml.GetXml()) & "</pre>"

'  Output is:

'  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
'  <abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>
