XML : TinyXml capturing white space / paragraphs

Tiny XML has been great so far but I'm having what I feel like is a really basic problem but it's been stumping me pretty bad... What I need to do is just take input from Cin and put it into the TiXmlElement and TiXmlText classes. I can't seem to get it so that I can take in something in a reasonable format that will also preserve any spaces I have. I want to be able to input things like "Tem Village" or a small paragraph of text between my tags, and it's only reading in the first element. I've tried doing things like this:

  std::cout << "We're taking input now." << std::endl;  std::string toTake;  std::cin >> toTake;    TiXmlElement * element2 = new TiXmlElement(toTake);  variables.LinkEndChild(element2);  variables.SaveFile();`    

Tried running the TiXmlBase::SetCondenseWhiteSpace(false); method with no results.. Please help! This is very important to what I'm working on and any help would be greatly apprecaited!

What I want is an XML document that will look like this:

  <Tag>Hoi I'm Tem</tag>    

Just as an example... But everytime I enter something like that into my Char * (which is the input TinyXML takes, I get this:

  <Tag>Hoi</tag>    

Anyone think they can help?
