Retrieving the content of an element involves traversing the document
    tree until you find what you are looking for. In this case, we are looking
    for an element called "keyword" contained within element called "story". The
    process to find the node we are interested in involves tediously walking the
    tree. We assume you already have an xmlDocPtr called <tt class="varname">doc</tt>
    and an xmlNodPtr called <tt class="varname">cur</tt>.</p><p>
