Parameters

Return value
Document ID.
If an error occurs, -1 will be returned.
Description
Starts the creation of a new document in memory and returns a document ID. This document ID will be passed in future XML calls. The ID is valid until a call of xmlCloseDocument().
The function call xmlCloseDocument() is imperative to free the allocated memory to prevent a memory leak.
Example
This example creates a new document in memory and adds nodes to the document. It also sets attributes,
sets a node value and prints the content of the document.
#uses "CtrlXml"
main()
{
int docNum = xmlNewDocument();
xmlAppendChild(docNum, -1, XML_COMMENT_NODE, "my fine new
comment");
int node = xmlAppendChild(docNum, -1, XML_ELEMENT_NODE, "first
element");
node = xmlAppendChild(docNum, node, XML_ELEMENT_NODE,
"sub_element");
xmlSetElementAttribute(docNum, node, "anAttribute", "a
value");
node = xmlAppendChild(docNum, node, XML_TEXT_NODE, "some
text");
xmlSetNodeValue(docNum, node, "The new value");
DebugN(xmlDocumentToString(docNum));
}
Assignment
