Bug Description
I'm on:
Python : sys.version_
lxml.etree : (4, 1, 1, 0)
libxml used : (2, 9, 7)
libxml compiled : (2, 9, 7)
libxslt used : (1, 1, 32)
libxslt compiled : (1, 1, 32)
I'm unable to modify the text located in the 'text3' position. I can find it using itertext() on the body element, but not much more.
from lxml import etree
from io import StringIO
orig_html = """
<html>
<body>
text1
<div align="center">
text2
</div>
text3
</body>
</html>
""".decode('utf8')
parser = etree.HTMLParser()
tree = etree.parse(
# how do i modify text3 into something else?
