# Build the 1st XML document:
# <x1>
#     <a1>1</a1>
#     <a2>2</a2>
#     <a3>3</a3>
# </x1>

set xml [new_CkXml]

CkXml_put_Tag $xml "x1"
CkXml_UpdateChildContent $xml "a1" "1"
CkXml_UpdateChildContent $xml "a2" "2"
CkXml_UpdateChildContent $xml "a3" "3"

# Build a 2nd XML document:

# <x2>
#   <b1>11</b1>
#   <b2>22</b2>
#   <b3>33</b3>
# </x2>

set xml2 [new_CkXml]

CkXml_put_Tag $xml2 "x2"
CkXml_UpdateChildContent $xml2 "b1" "11"
CkXml_UpdateChildContent $xml2 "b2" "22"
CkXml_UpdateChildContent $xml2 "b3" "33"

# We want to insert xml2 into xml to get this:

# <x1>
#     <a1>1</a1>
#     <x2>
#         <b1>11</b1>
#         <b2>22</b2>
#         <b3>33</b3>
#     </x2>
#     <a2>2</a2>
#     <a3>3</a3>
# </x1>

# Insert xml2 after "a1"

set index [CkXml_TagIndex $xml "a1"]
if {$index < 0} then {
    puts "a1 not found."
    delete_CkXml $xml
    delete_CkXml $xml2
    exit
}

CkXml_InsertChildTreeAfter $xml $index $xml2

puts [CkXml_getXml $xml]

# The result is:

# <x1>
#     <a1>1</a1>
#     <x2>
#         <b1>11</b1>
#         <b2>22</b2>
#         <b3>33</b3>
#     </x2>
#     <a2>2</a2>
#     <a3>3</a3>
# </x1>

# Note: xml2 now points to the subtree within xml.
# For example, update "b3" and then see how it's updated within the merged document:
CkXml_UpdateChildContent $xml2 "b3" "33333333"

puts [CkXml_getXml $xml]

# The result:

# <x1>
#     <a1>1</a1>
#     <x2>
#         <b1>11</b1>
#         <b2>22</b2>
#         <b3>33333333</b3>
#     </x2>
#     <a2>2</a2>
#     <a3>3</a3>
# </x1>
