val create_document_fragment : t -> Node.t

Create a new document fragment.

A document fragment is a special node with no parent. Adding children to the fragment does not affect the dom i.e. does not cause reflow and repaint, because the fragment is not part of the active dom.

If you call

    node.append(fragment)

all the children the fragment are appended to node instead of the fragment, leaving an empty fragment behind.
