How do I make BeautifulSoup parse the contents of textarea tags as HTML?

This seems to work fairly well (if I correctly understood what you wanted): for textarea in soup. FindAll('textarea'): contents = BeautifulSoup. BeautifulSoup(textarea.

Contents0).renderContents() textarea. ReplaceWith(contents).

Thanks, that does seem to do what I am after. – brofield Apr 20 '10 at 2:54.

I'm now using the following code which mostly works. Your milage may vary. Def _extractText(self, data, encoding): if self.

IsDebug: self. _output("_extractText") soup = BeautifulSoup. BeautifulSoup(data, fromEncoding=encoding) comments = soup.

FindAll(text=lambda text:isinstance(text, BeautifulSoup. Comment)) comment.extract() for comment in comments script.extract() for script in soup. FindAll('script') css.extract() for css in soup.

FindAll('style') for textarea in soup. FindAll('textarea'): textarea. String = self.

_extractText(textarea.renderContents(), 'UTF-8') text = unicode('') for line in soup. FindAll(text=True): line = line. Replace(' ', ' ').strip() if line == '': continue if line.

Startswith('doctype'): continue if line. Startswith('DOCTYPE'): continue text = text + line + '\n' return text.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
