Function: toXMLnode
Usage:

toXMLnode n
Inputs:
- n, an instance of the type LibxmlNode,
Optional inputs:
- Trim => ..., default value true
Outputs:
- an instance of the type XMLnode, a representation of the XML tree represented by n
- Trim => a Boolean value, default value true, whether to trim leading and trailing spaces from the lines in text nodes

Description

This function translates an XML tree created by the libxml library into a tree of hash tables of type XMLnode.

i1 : n = xmlParse ///<foo a="hi there">  ho there  <bar/></foo>///

o1 = <foo a="hi there">  ho there  <bar/></foo>

o1 : LibxmlNode (xmlTypeDescription)

i2 : x = toXMLnode n

o2 = <foo a="hi there"
       "ho there"
       <bar

o2 : XMLnode

i3 : peek'_3 x

o3 = XMLnode{"a" => "hi there"                              }
             children => {"ho there", XMLnode{tag => "bar"}}
             tag => "foo"

i4 : x#"a"

o4 = hi there

i5 : x.children

o5 = {ho there, <bar}

o5 : List

i6 : class \ oo

o6 = {String, XMLnode}

o6 : List

i7 : x.tag

o7 = foo

i8 : x = toXMLnode(n,Trim=>false)

o8 = <foo a="hi there"
       "  ho there  "
       <bar

o8 : XMLnode
