Modifying an HTML Document

The typical method for modifying a document is as follows. See the description of the {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.OutputDocument} class for sample code.

1. Create a {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.Source} object from the source text
2. Use the tag search methods to find the required segments
3. Create an {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.OutputDocument} object from the source text
4. Add an {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.OutputSegment} to the OutputDocument for each segment of the document that is to be replaced with other content
5. Call the {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.OutputDocument#toString()} method to get the final output
