The DOM shell

Help

	Commands list
cd	select the node passed as argument	Remark. The main difference between the structure of the file system and the DOM representing an HTML/XML file is that the DOM allows to have siblings with the same name. In order to distinguish such siblings, the shell append a number after the tag's name. This allows, for instance, to write `cd p3` to enter the 3rd paragraph of a node. Such number is virtual, since it does not appear in the original node
