what about this transformation:

<body>
fdfd
</body>

into:

<body>
<table><tr><td width="200">
fdfd
</td></tr>
</table>
</body>

?


If that's really all you have, there are several ways. But probably what you want is to just do all your work in finishMakingElement for the body element. First build the table element you want with all its children. Then detach the original children from the body element, insert your table child, and return new Nodes(element).

In other words, you just modify the element passed to finishMakingElement and then return it wrapped inside a Nodes object.
