#2 xml file properties

[aiscape]

Hi I'm a xml noob and want to try cppdom in a tiny project.

I want to read in xml files, modify it and write it out. Manipulating nodes works as expected but I have the problem that the input files have xml attribs like encoding or standalone and cppdom doesn't write out these properties while savin' the document.

Sample:

I read in the following xml, modify the stuff inside element

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<element>
bla bla
</element>

and get the following after writing the doc to file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml ?>
<element>
bla bla
</element>

After modifing the same file twice, I get:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml ?>
<?xml ?>
<element>
bla bla
</element>

What's going on here. I'm sure I missed something. Please, can you help me out?

Thanks a lot for help and for developing cppdom. I like it 'cause it is so small.

Cheers, Yves.

You aren't missing anything. This is a bug/shortcoming in how CppDOM writes out XML files. Currently, it is hard-coded to write out only the XML version. If you have a patch to address this problem, we would be happy to review it.
