  - nodeName
```
public String nodeName()
```
    Description copied from class: Node
    
    Get the node name of this node. Use for debugging purposes and not logic switching (for that, use instanceof).
    
    Specified by:
    
    nodeName in class Node
    
    Returns:
    
    node name
  - tagName
```
public String tagName()
```
    Get the name of the tag for this element. E.g. div
    
    Returns:
    
    the tag name
  - tagName
```
public Element tagName(String tagName)
```
    Change the tag of this element. For example, convert a to a
    with el.tagName("div");.
    
    Parameters:
    
    tagName - new tag name for this element
    
    Returns:
    
    this element, for chaining
  - tag
```
public Tag tag()
```
    Get the Tag for this element.
    
    Returns:
    
    the tag object
  - isBlock
```
public boolean isBlock()
```
    Test if this element is a block-level element. (E.g.
    == true or an inline element
    == false).
    
    Returns:
    
    true if block, false if not (and thus inline)
  - id
```
public String id()
```
    Get the id attribute of this element.
    
    Returns:
    
    The id attribute, if present, or an empty string if not.
  - attr
```
public Element attr(String attributeKey,
                    String attributeValue)
```
    Set an attribute value on this element. If this element already has an attribute with the key, its value is updated; otherwise, a new attribute is added.
    
    Overrides:
    
    attr in class Node
    
    Parameters:
    
    attributeKey - The attribute key.
    
    attributeValue - The attribute value.
    
    Returns:
    
    this element

```
public Element attr(String attributeKey,
                    boolean attributeValue)
```
    Set a boolean attribute value on this element. Setting to true sets the attribute value to "" and marks the attribute as boolean so no value is written out. Setting to false removes the attribute with the same key if it exists.
    
    Parameters:
    
    attributeKey - the attribute key
    
    attributeValue - the attribute value
    
    Returns:
    
    this element
  - dataset
```
public Map<String,String> dataset()

    E.g., the element
    ... has the dataset package=jsoup, language=java.
    
    This map is a filtered view of the element's attribute map. Changes to one map (add, remove, update) are reflected in the other map.
    
    You can find elements that have data attributes using the [^data-] attribute key prefix selector.
    
    Returns:
    
    a map of key=value custom data attributes.

    Overrides:
    
    parent in class Node
    
    Returns:
    
    parent node; or null if no parent.
  - parents
```
public Elements parents()
```
    Get this element's parent and ancestors, up to the document root.
    
    Returns:
    
    this element's stack of parents, closest first.
  - child
```
public Element child(int index)
```
    Get a child element of this element, by its 0-based index number.
    Note that an element can have both mixed Nodes and Elements as children. This method inspects a filtered list of children that are elements, and the index is based on that filtered list.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - the index number of the element to retrieve
    
    Returns:
    
    the child element, if it exists, otherwise throws an IndexOutOfBoundsException
    
    See Also:
    
    Node.childNode(int)
  - children
```
public Elements children()
```
    Get this element's child elements.
    This is effectively a filter on Node.childNodes() to get Element nodes.
    
    Returns:
    
    child elements. If this element has no children, returns an empty list.
    
    See Also:
    
    Node.childNodes()
  - textNodes
```
public List<TextNode> textNodes()
```
    Get this element's child text nodes. The list is unmodifiable but the text nodes may be manipulated.
    This is effectively a filter on Node.childNodes() to get Text nodes.
    Returns:
    child text nodes. If this element has no text nodes, returns an empty list.
    For example, with the input HTML: One Two Three Four with the p element selected:
    
    p.text() = "One Two Three Four"
    
    p.ownText() = "One Three Four"
    
    p.children() = Elements[, ]
    
    p.childNodes() = List["One ", , " Three ", , " Four"]
    
    p.textNodes() = List["One ", " Three ", " Four"]
  - dataNodes
```
public List<DataNode> dataNodes()
```
    Get this element's child data nodes. The list is unmodifiable but the data nodes may be manipulated.
    This is effectively a filter on Node.childNodes() to get Data nodes.
    
    Returns:
    
    child data nodes. If this element has no data nodes, returns an empty list.
    
    See Also:
    
    data()
  - select
```
public Elements select(String cssQuery)
```
    Find elements that match the Selector CSS query, with this element as the starting context. Matched elements may include this element, or any of its children.
    This method is generally more powerful to use than the DOM-type getElementBy* methods, because multiple filters can be combined, e.g.:
    - el.select("a[href]") - finds links (a tags with href attributes)
    - el.select("a[href*=example.com]") - finds links pointing to example.com (loosely)
    See the query syntax documentation in Selector.
    Parameters:
    
    cssQuery - a Selector CSS-like query
    
    Returns:
    
    elements that match the query (empty if none match)
    
    Throws:
    
    Selector.SelectorParseException - (unchecked) on an invalid CSS query.
    
    See Also:
    
    Selector

```

    Returns:
    
    this element, so that you can add more child nodes or elements.
  - insertChildren
```

                              CollectionNode> children)
```
    Inserts the given child nodes into this element at the specified index. Current nodes will be shifted to the right. The inserted nodes will be moved from their current parent. To prevent moving, copy the nodes first.
    
    Parameters:
    
    index - 0-based index to insert children at. Specify 0 to insert at the start, -1 at the end
    
    children - child nodes to insert
    
    Returns:
