Cheerio: Change tag feature

[devnewton]

Feature request: add method to change tag name.

Input:

<ul id="fruits">
  <li class="apple">Apple</li>
  <li class="orange">Orange</li>
  <li class="pear">Pear</li>
</ul>

Code:

$('ul').tag('article');
$('li').tag('section');

Output:

<article id="fruits">
  <section class="apple">Apple</section>
  <section class="orange">Orange</section>
  <section class="pear">Pear</section>
</article>

I second this.

Maybe we could write it?

You can just modify the underlying objects.

$('ul').find('li').each((i, item) => (item.tagName = 'section'))
