Description

### Type of issue

Typo

### Description

I have two HtmlDocument instances containing the same web page obtained using different URLs. Are those equal or not? If not, how would I compare only the content and ignore the URLs? I could use a debugger and try to figure out how it currently works and hope it never changes, but I thought documentation was supposed to make it possible to use the code without completely analyzing its behavior in a debugger.
