[xml] Preserving space when adding and deleting XML Nodes

["Vedantam, Pavan" <Pavan Vedantam fmcti com>]

Hi,

I followed up previous
posts(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/2005-September/msg00094.html),
and it seems the whitespace that is left when you delete a Node in the
xml file must be handled via code, my question is, how do you know that
it is an empty text node and then delete it.

Regards,

Pavan

Hi Rush,

Thanks for the info, it works now. I followed bad programming practice
and it paid the price !.

Pavan.

Hi Pavan,

I believe you need to unlink the node first, then free it, i.e.
   xmlUnlinkNode (pNode);
   xmlFreeNode (pNode);
