with tag('html'):
    with tag('body', id = 'hello'):
        with tag('h1'):
            text('Hello world!')

print(doc.getvalue())

With BeautifulSoup added functionalities

Insert bs4tag document into a BeautifulSoup instance.

.. code:: python

def body_text():
    doc, tag, text = SimpleDoc().tagtext()
    with tag('h1'):
        text('Hello world!')
    return doc.soup


doc, tag, text = SimpleDoc().tagtext()

with tag('html'):
    with tag('body', id='hello'):
        pass
