"""
Description:
This script converts an XML file (.xml) to a binary file (.bin).
It reads the text content of each element in the XML and writes it to the binary file.

Requirements:
- Python 3.x

Usage:
1. Save this script as 'xml2bin.py'.
2. Ensure your XML file ('example.xml') is in the same directory as the script.
3. Run the script.
4. The converted binary file ('xml2bin.bin') will be generated in the same directory.

Note: Adjust the 'xml_filename' and 'bin_filename' variables in the script as needed.
