  Start by reading the documentation, if you didn't:
    http://xmlsoft.org/encoding.html

Then you should know taht the internal representation is in UTF8 so if you
build or modify a tree (whcih you didn't tell but I tried to guess) then
convert the external ISO-8859-1 into UTF8 wich can be inserted in the tree:
   isolat1ToUTF8 ():
   http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-encoding.html#ISOLAT1TOUTF8
