] let htmlFragment = parseHTMLFragment("

Hello World

", Element()) let element = htmlFragment.querySelector("#test") echo element #

Hello World

``` CSS3Selectors was created to supersede [nimquery](https://github.com/GULPF/nimquery/) which still works well for parsing HTML content in Nim if CSS3Selectors is not available: nim```nim from xmltree import `$` from htmlparser import parseHtml import nimquery let html = """ Example
