/** \file lilxml.h
    \brief A little DOM-style library to handle parsing and processing an XML file.
    
    It only handles elements, attributes and pcdata content. <! ... > and <? ... > are silently ignored. pcdata is collected into one string, sans leading whitespace first line. \n
    
    The following is an example of a cannonical usage for the lilxml library. Initialize a lil xml context and read an XML file in a root element.
    
    \code
    
    #include <lilxml.h>
    
    LilXML *lp = newLilXML();
	char errmsg[1024];
	XMLEle *root, *ep;
	int c;

	while ((c = fgetc(stdin)) != EOF) {
	    root = readXMLEle (lp, c, errmsg);
	    if (root)
		break;
	    if (errmsg[0])
		error ("Error: %s\n", errmsg);
	}
 
        // print the tag and pcdata content of each child element within the root 

        for (ep = nextXMLEle (root, 1); ep != NULL; ep = nextXMLEle (root, 0))
	    printf ("%s: %s\n", tagXMLEle(ep), pcdataXMLEle(ep));


	// finished with root element and with lil xml context

	delXMLEle (root);
	delLilXML (lp);
