Bug: TinyXML screws up formatting of a XML document loaded from a file when you save it out again. (ie: the saved file does not match the inputted one, and is also not legal XML, tinyXML can NOT re-read it in without crashing and not outputting an error either...)

Problem? Comments such as:
<?-- This is a comment in XML -->
Get turned into:
?-- This is a comment in XML --

the <?-- --> syntax I just copied from the documentation that comes with tinyXML. But then I look in the tinyXML test .cpp files, and see that they use a  label for their comments.

Those work, but the <?-- --> ones that come from the main documentation do not.

  FYI, <? ... ?> is not a comment in XML. They are processing instruction (PI) like the very first (optional) item in an XML file :
  <?xml version='1.0'?>
  See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-pi
  
  The only valid comment in XML are 
  
  Thank you for pointing out the mistakes in the documentation. This is the one that need to be fixed
