# Class Element

source code

A very simple DOM-like representation for parsed epytext documents. Each epytext document is encoded as a tree whose nodes are Element objects, and whose leaves are `string`s. Each node is marked by a tag and zero or more attributes. Each attribute is a mapping from a string key to a string value.
