    >>> from readability import Document

    >>> response = requests.get('http://example.com')
    >>> doc = Document(response.text)
    >>> doc.title()
    'Example Domain'

    >>> doc.summary()
    """<html><body><div><body id="readabilityBody">\n<div>\n    <h1>Example Domain</h1>\n
    <p>This domain is established to be used for illustrative examples in documents. You may
    use this\n    domain in examples without prior coordination or asking for permission.</p>
    \n    <p><a href="http://www.iana.org/domains/example">More information...</a></p>\n</div>
