		Modifying an HTML Document
		
			The typical method for modifying a document is as follows.
			See the description of the {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.OutputDocument} class for sample code.
		
		
			Create a {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.Source} object from the source text
			Find the required segments by calling methods on the Source object and other segments
			Create an {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.OutputDocument} object from the source text
			Add an {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.IOutputSegment} to the OutputDocument for each segment of the document that is to be replaced with other text
			Call the {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.OutputDocument#toString()} method to get the final output
		
		Analysing or Extracting Information from an HTML Document
		
			If the document only needs to be analysed instead of modified, only the first two steps listed above are required.
			See the description of the {@link au.id.jericho.lib.html.FormFields} class for sample code.
