\begin{verbatim}
wxXmlDocument doc;
-if (!doc.Load(wxT("myfile.xml"))
+if (!doc.Load(wxT("myfile.xml")))
return false;
// start processing the XML file
}
\end{verbatim}
+{\bf Note:} if you want to preserve the original formatting of the loaded file including whitespaces
+and indentation, you need to turn off whitespace-only textnode removal and automatic indentation:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+wxXmlDocument doc;
+doc.Load(wxT("myfile.xml"), wxT("UTF-8"), wxXMLDOC_KEEP_WHITESPACE_NODES);
+doc.Save(wxT("myfile2.xml"), wxXML_NO_INDENTATION); // myfile2.xml will be indentic to myfile.xml
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Using default parameters, you will get a reformatted document which in general is different from
+the original loaded content:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+wxXmlDocument doc;
+doc.Load(wxT("myfile.xml"));
+doc.Save(wxT("myfile2.xml")); // myfile2.xml != myfile.xml
+\end{verbatim}
