This lib is called "parser" for the reason, that it is for parsing, not editing. However, you can modify the DOM-table, that parser returns. There are even some functions implemented for that.

But the purpose of the library is to parse, there is no direct converter from the DOM-table back to html-code. Although, again, it should not be that hard to imlement it manually
