//  The Scrub method has options for trimming whitespace from the ends of attributes and content,
//  trimming inside whitespace, and for case conversion for tags and attribute names.

//  Trimming inside whitespace is defined as replacing CR, LF, and tab chars with SPACE chars, and 
//  removing extra SPACE chars so that at most one SPACE separates non-SPACE chars.

//  For example, load the following XML:

s := '<xyz><td class=" colHoldingPercent col7" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);               border-image-outset: 0;  "> abc' + Chr(13) + Chr(10) + '123    456</td></xyz>'

oXml := CreateObject("Chilkat.Xml")
nSuccess := oXml:LoadXml(s)

? oXml:GetXml()

//  The XML before scrubbing is:

//  <xyz>
//      <td class=" colHoldingPercent col7" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);               border-image-outset: 0;  ">abc
//  123    456</td>
//  </xyz>

oXml:Scrub("AttrTrimEnds,AttrTrimInside,ContentTrimEnds,ContentTrimInside")
? oXml:GetXml()

//  The XML after scrubbing is:

//  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
//  <xyz>
//      <td class="colHoldingPercent col7" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(221, 221, 221); border-image-outset: 0;">abc 123 456</td>
//  </xyz>
