function s = convert(tree,uid)
% XMLTREE/CONVERT Converter an XML tree in a Matlab structure
% 
% tree      - XMLTree object
% uid       - uid of the root of the subtree, if provided.
%             Default is root
% s         - converted structure
%_______________________________________________________________________
%
% Convert an xmltree into a Matlab structure, when possible.
% When several identical tags are present, a cell array is used.
% The root tag is not saved in the structure.
% If provided, only the structure corresponding to the subtree defined
% by the uid UID is returned.

% Exemple:
% tree: <toto><titi>field1</titi><tutu>field2</tutu><titi>field3</titi></toto>
% toto = convert(tree);
% <=> toto = struct('titi',{{'field1', 'field3'}},'tutu','field2')
