/**
 * section: xmlReader
 * synopsis: Show how to extract subdocuments with xmlReader
 * purpose: Demonstrate the use of xmlTextReaderPreservePattern() 
 *          to parse an XML file with the xmlReader while collecting
 *          only some subparts of the document.
 *          (Note that the XMLReader functions require libxml2 version later
 *          than 2.6.)
 * usage: reader3
 * test: reader3 > reader3.tmp ; diff reader3.tmp reader3.res ; rm reader3.tmp
