Would you know of similar easy howto for using xpath(element reference),
and another one for traversing xml docs?
thx

Create and add elements
from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
*
creating new document, and root element at the same time.
doc = parseString(u'<top/>'.encode('UTF-8'))
*
print doc.toprettyxml() will show you how it looks
*
this would create:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<top/>
*
Now we reference to our <top/> element by:
top_element=doc.documentElement
*
We create another element by:
element1=doc.createElementNS(None,u'section1')
*
Add it under our top element by:
top_element.appendChild(element1)
*
Create another element and add it under element1
element1.appendChild(doc.createElementNS(None,u'subsection1'))
*
How to create a text node:
text1=doc.createTextNode(u'My first text')
*
Since we have no reference to subsection1. We start at reference
to element1
element1.firstChild.appendChild(text1)
*
add second subelement:
element1.appendChild(doc.createElementNS(None,u'subsection2'))
*
create next text element, and add it to subsection2
text2=doc.createTextNode(u'My second text')
element1.lastChild.appendChild(text2)
*
We are working with references. To switch text in subsections, you
could do:
element1.firstChild.appendChild(text2)
element1.lastChild.appendChild(text1)
