Create html document:
>>> html = etree.Element("html")
>>> body = etree.SubElement(html, "body")
>>> body.text = "Added text" # tail adds text after tag
>>> etree.tostring(html)
b'<html><body>Added text</body></html>'

>> etree.tostring(root)
Create html document:
>>> html = etree.Element("html")
>>> body = etree.SubElement(html, "body")
>>> body.text = "Added text" # tail adds text after tag
>>> etree.tostring(html)
b'<html><body>Added text</body></html>'
Creating elements with text elements
>>> root = etree.Element("root")
>>> etree.SubElement(root, "child").text = "Child 1"
>>> etree.SubElement(root, "child").text = "Child 2"
>>> etree.SubElement(root, "another").text = "Child 3"
Display only textual data:
>>> etree.tostring(html, method="text")
>>> print(html.xpath("string()"))
>>> print(html.xpath("//text()")) #Display textual data as list
Iteration:
>>> [(x.tag, x.text) for x in root.iter()]
> [ child.tag for child in root ] # root child element itteration
Finding elements:
>> print(root.find(".//b").tag)
>>> [ b.tag for b in root.iterfind(".//b") ] # Finding multiple elements
Dumping xml:
xml.etree.ElementTree.dump(tree)
