How to convert HTML tag into string using python-CodePudding

I have my html content as:

html = <div>new notes</div><div><ol><li>kssd</li></ol><ul><li>cds</li><li>dsdsk</li></ul><font color=\"#66717b\">ndsmnd</font></div>

When I convert the above expression to string, it throws error

html_str = str(html)

I can see the " are already escaped here. do I need to replace /" with //" and then convert to string?

CodePudding user response：

I think you need to use get_text()

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
htmlvar = BeautifulSoup(html)
print(htmlvar.get_text())

CodePudding user response：

you can try this:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')

print(soup.prettify())

tag = soup.html

string = str(tag)

print(string)
