Dim xml As New Chilkat.Xml
Dim success As Boolean

' If autoTrim is True, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
' For example:
Dim autoTrim As Boolean = True
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml())

' 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 False, then the content inside leaf elements are not trimmed.
autoTrim = False
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml())

' 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 = True
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
xml.EmitCompact = True
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml())

' Output is:

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

' No Auto-trim + emit compact:
autoTrim = False
xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",autoTrim)
xml.EmitCompact = True
Debug.WriteLine(xml.GetXml())

' Output is:

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