Example won't work

Taken from here https://lodo1995.github.io/experimental.xml/std/experimental/xml.html

Code:

import std.stdio;

import std.experimental.xml;

void main()
{
    string input = q"{
<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<books>
    <book ISBN = "078-5342635362">
        <title>The D Programming Language</title>
        <author>A. Alexandrescu</author>
    </book>
    <book ISBN = "978-1515074601">
        <title>Programming in D</title>
        <author>Ali Çehreli</author>
    </book>
    <book ISBN = "978-0201704310">

    </book>
</books>
    }";

    // the following steps are all configurable
    auto domBuilder =
         chooseLexer!input  // instantiate the best lexer based on the type of input
        .parser             // instantiate a parser on top of the lexer
        .cursor             // instantiate a cursor on top of the parser
        .domBuilder;        // and finally the DOM builder on top of the cursor

    // the source is forwarded down the parsing chain and everything is initialized
    domBuilder.setSource(input);

    // recursively build the entire DOM tree
    domBuilder.buildRecursive;
    auto dom = domBuilder.getDocument;

    // find and substitute all matching authors
    foreach (author; dom.getElementsByTagName("author"))
        if (author.textContent == "A. Alexandrescu")
            author.textContent = "Andrei Alexandrescu";

    // write it out to "catalogue.xml"
    auto file = File("catalogue.xml", "w");
    file.lockingTextWriter
        .writerFor!string   // instatiates an xml writer on top of an output range
        .writeDOM(dom);     // write the document with all of its children
}

Output:

And that working:

auto domBuilder =
     chooseParser!input
    .cursor
    .domBuilder;

I'm currently traveling. I'll have a look tomorrow. In the mean time, can you checkout the master branch? It appears that you are using the latest release, while the online documentation is automatically built from master. If that's the case, changing parser to parse may solve the issue (it has been a recent rename).

I also tried ~master branch, but got another error with incompatible parameters.

I know. I'm just being very short on time. I hope to upload something soon.

The examples should now work correctly. Feel free to reopen if I missed something.
