I think this code will add a chapter to your book.
Code:
import xml.dom.minidom
doc = xml.dom.minidom.parse("book1.xml")
book = doc.getElementsByTagName("book")[0]
newChapter = doc.createElement("chapter")
book.appendChild(newChapter)
newDoc = doc.toprettyxml()
fh = open("book1.xml", "w")
fh.write(newDoc)
fh.close()
There is also an insertBefore function you can use to insert the chapter before an existing chapter. Code:
chapters = doc.getElementsByTagName("chapter")
newChapter = doc.createElement("chapter")
book.insertBefore(newChapter, chapters[3])
This will insert the new chapter before the 4th chapter. There is one thing I don't like about the toprettyxml function. If you open a "pretty" xml document and prints it back to the file with toprettyxml, it adds the prettyfying whitespace one more time so you get twice as much whitespace as you want.
