Writing an attribute is similar to writing text to a new element. In
      this case, we'll add a reference <span class="acronym">URI</span> to our
      document. Full code:<a href="apf.html" title="F.�Code for Add Attribute Example">Appendix�F, <i>Code for Add Attribute Example</i></a>.</p><p>
      A <tt class="sgmltag-element">reference</tt> is a child of the <tt class="sgmltag-element">story</tt>
      element, so finding the place to put our new element and attribute is
      simple. As soon as we do the error-checking test in our
      <tt class="function">parseDoc</tt>, we are in the right spot to add our
      element. But before we do that, we need to make a declaration using a
      data type we have not seen yet:
      </p><pre class="programlisting">
	xmlAttrPtr newattr;
      </pre><p>
      We also need an extra xmlNodePtr:
      </p><pre class="programlisting">
	xmlNodePtr newnode;
      </pre><p>
    </p><p>
      The rest of <tt class="function">parseDoc</tt> is the same as before until we
      check to see if our root element is <tt class="sgmltag-element">story</tt>. If it is,
      then we know we are at the right spot to add our element:

</p><pre class="programlisting">
	<a name="addreferencenode"></a><img src="images/callouts/1.png" alt="1" border="0"> newnode = xmlNewTextChild (cur, NULL, "reference", NULL);
	<a name="addattributenode"></a><img src="images/callouts/2.png" alt="2" border="0"> newattr = xmlNewProp (newnode, "uri", uri);	
      </pre><p>
      </p><div class="calloutlist"><table border="0" summary="Callout list"><tr><td width="5%" valign="top" align="left"><a href="#addreferencenode"><img src="images/callouts/1.png" alt="1" border="0"></a> </td><td valign="top" align="left"><p>First we add a new node at the location of the current node
	    pointer, <tt class="varname">cur.</tt> using the <a href="https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libxml2/devhelp/libxml2-tree.html#XMLNEWTEXTCHILD" target="_top">xmlNewTextChild</a> function.</p></td></tr></table></div><p>
   </p><p>Once the node is added, the file is written to disk just as in the
    previous example in which we added an element with text content.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ar01s06.html">Prev</a>�</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="index.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right">�<a accesskey="n" href="ar01s08.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Writing element content�</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top">�Retrieving Attributes</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
