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