     48
     49      Unlike the ordinary Element factory, the E factory allows you to pass in
     50      more than just a tag and some optional attributes; you can also pass in
     51      text and other elements.  The text is added as either text or tail
     52      attributes, and elements are inserted at the right spot.  Some small
     53      examples::
     54
     55          >>> from lxml import etree as ET
     56          >>> from lxml.builder import E
     57
     58          >>> ET.tostring(E("tag"))
     59          '<tag/>'
     60          >>> ET.tostring(E("tag", "text"))
     61          '<tag>text</tag>'
     62          >>> ET.tostring(E("tag", "text", key="value"))
     63          '<tag key="value">text</tag>'
     64          >>> ET.tostring(E("tag", E("subtag", "text"), "tail"))
     65          '<tag><subtag>text</subtag>tail</tag>'
     66
     67      For simple tags, the factory also allows you to write ``E.tag(...)`` instead
     68      of ``E('tag', ...)``::
     69
     70          >>> ET.tostring(E.tag())
     71          '<tag/>'
     72          >>> ET.tostring(E.tag("text"))
     73          '<tag>text</tag>'
     74          >>> ET.tostring(E.tag(E.subtag("text"), "tail"))
     75          '<tag><subtag>text</subtag>tail</tag>'
     76
     77      Here's a somewhat larger example; this shows how to generate HTML
     78      documents, using a mix of prepared factory functions for inline elements,
     79      nested ``E.tag`` calls, and embedded XHTML fragments::
     80
     81          # some common inline elements
     82          A = E.a
     83          I = E.i
     84          B = E.b
     85
     86          def CLASS(v):
     87              # helper function, 'class' is a reserved word
     88              return {'class': v}
     89
     90          page = (
     91              E.html(
     92                  E.head(
     93                      E.title("This is a sample document")
     94                  ),
     95                  E.body(
     96                      E.h1("Hello!", CLASS("title")),
     97                      E.p("This is a paragraph with ", B("bold"), " text in it!"),
     98                      E.p("This is another paragraph, with a ",
     99                          A("link", href="http://www.python.org"), "."),
    100                      E.p("Here are some reservered characters: <spam&egg>."),
    101                      ET.XML("<p>And finally, here is an embedded XHTML fragment.</p>"),
    102                  )
    103              )
    104          )
    105
    106          print ET.tostring(page)
    107
    108      Here's a prettyprinted version of the output from the above script::

    110          <html>
    111            <head>
    112              <title>This is a sample document</title>
    113            </head>
    114            <body>
    115              <h1 class="title">Hello!</h1>
    116              <p>This is a paragraph with <b>bold</b> text in it!</p>
    117              <p>This is another paragraph, with <a href="http://www.python.org">link</a>.</p>
    118              <p>Here are some reservered characters: &lt;spam&amp;egg&gt;.</p>
    119              <p>And finally, here is an embedded XHTML fragment.</p>
