Class Method	`is_not_known_attribute`	Returns True if and only if the given attribute is NOT recognized by this class.

Method	`pop`	Undocumented
Method	`remove`	Undocumented
Method	`replace`	Replace one child `Node` with another child or children.

Method	`update_all_atts_convert`	Updates all attributes from node or dictionary `dict_`.
Method	`update_basic_atts`	Update basic attributes ('ids', 'names', 'classes', 'dupnames', but not 'source') from node or dictionary `dict_`.

Class Variable	`child_text_separator`	Separator for child nodes, used by `astext()` method.
Class Variable	`known_attributes`	List attributes that are known to the Element base class.

Instance Variable	`rawsource`	The raw text from which this element was constructed.
Instance Variable	`referenced`	Undocumented

Method	`_dom_node`	Undocumented

Inherited from Node (via Element):

Method	`__bool__`	Node instances are always true, even if they're empty. A node is more than a simple container. Its boolean "truth" does not depend on having one or more subnodes in the doctree.
Method	`__str__`	Undocumented
Method	`asdom`	Return a DOM fragment representation of this Node.
Method	`document.setter`	Undocumented
Method	`next_node`	Return the first node in the iterable returned by traverse(), or None if the iterable is empty.
Method	`setup_child`	Undocumented
Method	`traverse`	Return an iterable containing
Method	`walk`	No summary
Method	`walkabout`	Perform a tree traversal similarly to `Node.walk()` (which see), except also call the `dispatch_departure()` method before exiting each node.
Class Variable	`line`	The line number (1-based) of the beginning of this Node in `source`.
Class Variable	`parent`	Back-reference to the Node immediately containing this Node.
Class Variable	`source`	Path or description of the input source which generated this Node.
Property	`document`	Return the `document` node at the root of the tree containing this Node.
Method	`_all_traverse`	Return iterator that doesn't check for a condition.
Method	`_fast_traverse`	Return iterator that only supports instance checks.
Method	`_traverse`	Return iterator over nodes following `self`. See `traverse()`.
