Its quite easy: if you have a HTML-tag with included text, 
just use the approriate class and pass the text as argument:

<p>hallo</p> becomes Para("hallo")

Headers take an additional argument, the level:

<h1>Head</h1> becomes H(1,"Head")

Nested tags are the same es nested function calls. Each tag 
is a container and has an append()-method: 

p = Para("hallo")
p.append("another hallo")

Each tag-class ctor takes keyword arguments which become 
tag arguments:

l = OrderedList(type='i')

creates an <ol type='i'> like list. 

For further info look at the sources, esp. at the HTMLtest 
module.
