| MDT 2003 John Fleck | 63f3a47 | 2003-07-24 21:48:30 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 2 | Writing element content uses many of the same steps we used above |
| 3 | — parsing the document and walking the tree. We parse the document, |
| 4 | then traverse the tree to find the place we want to insert our element. For |
| 5 | this example, we want to again find the "storyinfo" element and |
| 6 | this time insert a keyword. Then we'll write the file to disk. Full code: |

| 31 | The first parameter is the name of the file to be written. You'll notice |
| 32 | it is the same as the file we just read. In this case, we just write over |
| 33 | the old file. The second parameter is a pointer to the xmlDoc |
