Compatibility with PyHTML

There are some minor usage differences compared to the original PyHTML library.

Rendering of uninstantiated classes

Uninstantiated classes are only rendered if they are given as the child of an instantiated element.

>>> import pyhtml as p
>>> p.br
<class 'pyhtml.__tags.generated.br'>
>>> print(str(p.html(p.body(p.br))))
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <body>
    <br/>
  </body>
</html>

Calling tag instances

Calling an instance of a Tag will return a new tag containing all elements of the original tag combined with the new attributes and children, but will not modify the original instance, as I found the old behaviour confusing and bug-prone.

>>> para = p.p("Base paragraph")
>>> para2 = para("Extra text")
>>> para2
<p>
  Base paragraph
  Extra text
</p>
>>> para
<p>
  Base paragraph
</p>
