ADD AN ELEMENT
In previous posts ( and ), we showed how to create a document and add a
text node to the root document via xml.dom.minidom . In this post, we will show
how to create a new element node and add it to the DOM tree.

import xml.dom.minidom
def main ():
impl = xml . dom . minidom . getDOMImplementation ()
dom = impl . createDocument ( None , u 'html' , None )
root = dom . documentElement
demoNode = dom . createElement ( u 'demoTag' )
root . appendChild ( demoNode )
print ( dom . toxml ())
if __name__ == '__main__' :
main ()
In line 11 and 12, we create a node with the tag demoTag and add it to the
root element of the document. The following is the output:
version = "1.0" ?><html><demoTag/></html>
In the next post , we will show how to set the attribute of the element.
