&#8212; parsing the document and walking the tree. We parse the document,
then traverse the tree to find the place we want to insert our element. For
this example, we want to again find the &quot;storyinfo&quot; element and
this time insert a keyword. Then we'll write the file to disk. Full code:
<a href="apc.html" title="C. Code for Add Keyword Example">Appendix C</a></p><p>
The main difference in this example is in
<tt>parseStory</tt>:
<pre class="programlisting">
void
parseStory (xmlDocPtr doc, xmlNodePtr cur, char *keyword) {
<a name="addkeyword"></a><img src="images/callouts/1.png" alt="1" border="0"> xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, &quot;keyword&quot;, keyword);

function adds a new child element at the
current node pointer's location in the
tree, specificied by <tt>cur</tt>.</p></td></tr></table></div>
</p><p>
Once the node has been added, we would like to write the document to
file. Is you want the element to have a namespace, you can add it here as
well. In our case, the namespace is NULL.
<pre class="programlisting">
xmlSaveFormatFile (docname, doc, 1);
</pre>
The first parameter is the name of the file to be written. You'll notice
it is the same as the file we just read. In this case, we just write over
the old file. The second parameter is a pointer to the xmlDoc
structure. Setting the third parameter equal to one ensures indenting on output.

this case, we'll add a reference URI to our

A <tt class="sgmltag-element">reference</tt> is a child of the <tt class="sgmltag-element">story</tt>
element, so finding the place to put our new element and attribute is
simple. As soon as we do the error-checking test in our
<tt>parseDoc</tt>, we are in the right spot to add our
element. But before we do that, we need to make a declaration using a
datatype we have not seen yet:
<pre class="programlisting">
xmlAttrPtr newattr;
</pre>
We also need an extra xmlNodePtr:
<pre class="programlisting">
xmlNodePtr newnode;
</pre>
</p><p>
The rest of <tt>parseDoc</tt> is the same as before until we
check to see if our root element is <tt class="sgmltag-element">story</tt>. If it is,
then we know we are at the right spot to add our element:
<pre class="programlisting">
<a name="addreferencenode"></a><img src="images/callouts/1.png" alt="1" border="0"> newnode = xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, &quot;reference&quot;, NULL);

pointer, <tt>cur.</tt> using the <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#XMLNEWTEXTCHILD" target="_top">xmlNewTextChild</a> function.</p></td></tr></table></div>

<title>Retrieving Element Content</title>
<para>Retrieving the content of an element involves traversing the document
tree until you find what you are looking for. In this case, we are looking
for an element called &quot;keyword&quot; contained within element called &quot;story&quot;. The
process to find the node we are interested in involves tediously walking the
tree. We assume you already have an xmlDocPtr called <varname>doc</varname>
and an xmlNodPtr called <varname>cur</varname>.</para>

<para>This loop iterates through the elements that are children of

<sect1 id="xmltutorialwritingcontent">
<title>Writing element content</title>
<para>Writing element content uses many of the same steps we used above
&mdash; parsing the document and walking the tree. We parse the document,
then traverse the tree to find the place we want to insert our element. For
this example, we want to again find the &quot;storyinfo&quot; element and
this time insert a keyword. Then we'll write the file to disk. Full code:
<xref linkend="addkeywordappendix" /></para>
<para>
The main difference in this example is in
<function>parseStory</function>:
<programlisting>
void
parseStory (xmlDocPtr doc, xmlNodePtr cur, char *keyword) {
<co id="addkeyword" /> xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, "keyword", keyword);
return;
}
</programlisting>
<calloutlist>
<callout arearefs="addkeyword">
<para>The <function><ulink
url="http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#XMLNEWTEXTCHILD">xmlNewTextChild</ulink></function>
function adds a new child element at the
current node pointer's location in the
tree, specificied by <varname>cur</varname>.</para>
</callout>
</calloutlist>
</para>
<para>
Once the node has been added, we would like to write the document to
file. Is you want the element to have a namespace, you can add it here as
well. In our case, the namespace is NULL.
<programlisting>
xmlSaveFormatFile (docname, doc, 1);
</programlisting>
The first parameter is the name of the file to be written. You'll notice
it is the same as the file we just read. In this case, we just write over
the old file. The second parameter is a pointer to the xmlDoc
structure. Setting the third parameter equal to one ensures indenting on output.

<title>Writing Attribute</title>
<para>Writing an attribute is similar to writing text to a new element. In
this case, we'll add a reference <acronym>URI</acronym> to our
document. Full code:<xref linkend="addattributeappendix" />.</para>
<para>
A <sgmltag>reference</sgmltag> is a child of the <sgmltag>story</sgmltag>
element, so finding the place to put our new element and attribute is
simple. As soon as we do the error-checking test in our
<function>parseDoc</function>, we are in the right spot to add our
element. But before we do that, we need to make a declaration using a
datatype we have not seen yet:
<programlisting>
xmlAttrPtr newattr;
</programlisting>
We also need an extra xmlNodePtr:
<programlisting>
xmlNodePtr newnode;
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
The rest of <function>parseDoc</function> is the same as before until we
check to see if our root element is <sgmltag>story</sgmltag>. If it is,
then we know we are at the right spot to add our element:
<programlisting>
<co id="addreferencenode" /> newnode = xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, "reference", NULL);
<co id="addattributenode" /> newattr = xmlNewProp (newnode, "uri", uri);
</programlisting>
<calloutlist>
<callout arearefs="addreferencenode">
<para>First we add a new node at the location of the current node
pointer, <varname>cur.</varname> using the <ulink
url="http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-tree.html#XMLNEWTEXTCHILD">xmlNewTextChild</ulink> function.</para>
</callout>
</calloutlist>
</para>
<para>Once the node is added, the file is written to disk just as in the
previous example in which we added an element with text content.</para>
