not usually a complete <a href="qdomdocument.html">QDomDocument</a>.</p>
<p>If you want to do complex tree operations it is useful to have a
lightweight class to store nodes and their relations.
QDomDocumentFragment stores a subtree of a document which does not
necessarily represent a well-formed XML document.</p>
<p>QDomDocumentFragment is also useful if you want to group several
nodes in a list and insert them all together as children of some
node. In these cases QDomDocumentFragment can be used as a
temporary container for this list of children.</p>
<p>The most important feature of QDomDocumentFragment is that it is
treated in a special way by <a href="qdomnode.html#insertAfter">QDomNode.insertAfter</a>(), <a href="qdomnode.html#insertBefore">QDomNode.insertBefore</a>(), <a href="qdomnode.html#replaceChild">QDomNode.replaceChild</a>() and
<a href="qdomnode.html#appendChild">QDomNode.appendChild</a>():
instead of inserting the fragment itself, all the fragment's
children are inserted.</p>
<hr /><h2>Method Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="QDomDocumentFragment" />QDomDocumentFragment.__init__ (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Constructs an empty document fragment.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QDomDocumentFragment-2" />QDomDocumentFragment.__init__ (<i>self</i>, <a href="qdomdocumentfragment.html">QDomDocumentFragment</a> <i>x</i>)</h3><p>Constructs a copy of <i>x</i>.</p>
<p>The data of the copy is shared (shallow copy): modifying one
node will also change the other. If you want to make a deep copy,
use <a href="qdomnode.html#cloneNode">cloneNode</a>().</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="nodeType" /><a href="qdomnode.html#NodeType-enum">QDomNode.NodeType</a> QDomDocumentFragment.nodeType (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns <tt>DocumentFragment</tt>.</p>
