// 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>';

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Xml')
$xml = new COM("Chilkat.Xml");
$success = $xml->LoadXml($s);

print $xml->getXml() . "\n";

// 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>

$xml->Scrub('AttrTrimEnds,AttrTrimInside,ContentTrimEnds,ContentTrimInside');
print $xml->getXml() . "\n";

// 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>
