                greater than 0, the row and column of each node and attribute is stored
                when the file is loaded. Very useful for tracking the DOM back in to
                the source file.

                The tab size is required for calculating the location of nodes. If not
                set, the default of 4 is used. The tabsize is set per document. Setting
                the tabsize to 0 disables row/column tracking.

                Note that row and column tracking is not supported when using operator>>.

                The tab size needs to be enabled before the parse or load. Correct usage:

/**
        A TiXmlHandle is a class that wraps a node pointer with null checks; this is
        an incredibly useful thing. Note that TiXmlHandle is not part of the TinyXml
        DOM structure. It is a separate utility class.

        Take an example:
        @verbatim
        <Document>
                <Element attributeA = "valueA">
                        <Child attributeB = "value1" />
                        <Child attributeB = "value2" />
                </Element>
        <Document>
        @endverbatim

        Assuming you want the value of "attributeB" in the 2nd "Child" element, it's very 
        easy to write a *lot* of code that looks like:

        @verbatim
        TiXmlElement* root = document.FirstChildElement( "Document" );
        if ( root )
        {
                TiXmlElement* element = root->FirstChildElement( "Element" );
                if ( element )
                {
                        TiXmlElement* child = element->FirstChildElement( "Child" );
                        if ( child )
                        {
                                TiXmlElement* child2 = child->NextSiblingElement( "Child" );
                                if ( child2 )
                                {
                                        // Finally do something useful.
        @endverbatim

        And that doesn't even cover "else" cases. TiXmlHandle addresses the verbosity
        of such code. A TiXmlHandle checks for null     pointers so it is perfectly safe 
        and correct to use:

        @verbatim
        TiXmlHandle docHandle( &document );
        TiXmlElement* child2 = docHandle.FirstChild( "Document" ).FirstChild( "Element" ).Child( "Child", 1 ).Element();
        if ( child2 )
        {
                // do something useful
        @endverbatim

        Which is MUCH more concise and useful.

        It is also safe to copy handles - internally they are nothing more than node pointers.
        @verbatim
        TiXmlHandle handleCopy = handle;
        @endverbatim

        What they should not be used for is iteration:

        @verbatim
        int i=0; 
        while ( true )
        {
                TiXmlElement* child = docHandle.FirstChild( "Document" ).FirstChild( "Element" ).Child( "Child", i ).Element();
                if ( !child )
                        break;
                // do something
                ++i;
        }
        @endverbatim

        It seems reasonable, but it is in fact two embedded while loops. The Child method is 
        a linear walk to find the element, so this code would iterate much more than it needs 
        to. Instead, prefer:

        @verbatim
        TiXmlElement* child = docHandle.FirstChild( "Document" ).FirstChild( "Element" ).FirstChild( "Child" ).Element();

        for( child; child; child=child->NextSiblingElement() )
        {
                // do something
        }
        @endverbatim
