Replace tag, text, end so on.

I don't think so really. There's a wee bit of documentation here 
http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/arsd.dom.html but for the 
most part it is just find a few functions you like and use them.

The .innerText and .innerHTML properties are the easiest for some 
string stuff. querySelector and querySelectorAll work like the 
javascript functions.

Other extension functions that might help are .stripOut that 
removes the tag but keeps its children and .removeFromTree that 
removes the whole thing, children and all.

And many more but these alone can get you started.

auto document = new Document("<foo><p>hi</p></foo>");

foreach(ele; document.querySelectorAll("p"))
     ele.innerText = "changed";


foreach(ele; document.querySelectorAll("p"))
     ele.innerHTML = "<span>tags too here</span>";


foreach(ele; document.querySelectorAll("p"))
     ele.stripOut(); // would leave behind, from original, 
<foo>hi</foo>

or

     ele.removeFromTree(); // leaves behind just "<foo></foo>";



You can .addClass, .removeClass too, or modify attributes with 
the .setAttribute and .getAttribute, or the helper .attrs member.

ele.attrs.foo = "bar"; // adds foo="bar" to the tag attributes
