Module tree 

Tree manipulation with lxml-style text/tail model.

This module provides functions for working with the text/tail model used in lxml-style HTML processing.

Text vs Tail

In this model, elements have:

• Text: Text content BEFORE the first child element
• Tail: Text content AFTER the element’s closing tag

<div>
  TEXT HERE          <!-- div's "text" -->
  <span>inner</span>
  TAIL HERE          <!-- span's "tail" -->
</div>
