I need to create a <img /> tag.
BeautifulSoup creates an image tag like this with code I did:
soup = BeautifulSoup(text, "html5")
tag = Tag(soup, name='img')
tag.attrs = {'src': '/some/url/here'}
text = soup.renderContents()
print text
Output: <img src="/some/url/here"></img>
How to make it? : <img src="/some/url/here" />
It can be of course done with REGEX or similar chemistry. However I was wondering maybe there is any standard way to produce tags like this?

A new tag can be created by calling BeautifulSoup's inbuilt function new_tag(). Inserting a new tag using the append() method : The new tag is appended to the end of the parent tag.
A HTML tag is used to define various types of content. A tag object in BeautifulSoup corresponds to an HTML or XML tag in the actual page or document. >>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup >>> soup = BeautifulSoup('<b class="boldest">TutorialsPoint</b>') >>> tag = soup. html >>> type(tag) <class 'bs4.element.Tag'>
Beautiful Soup is a Python package for parsing HTML and XML documents. It creates a parse tree for parsed pages that can be used to extract data from HTML, which is useful for web scraping. Prettify() function in BeautifulSoup will enable us to view how the tags are nested in the document.
Don't use Tag() to create new elements. Use the soup.new_tag() method:
soup = BeautifulSoup(text, "html5")
new_tag = soup.new_tag('img', src='/some/url/here')
some_element.append(new_tag)
The soup.new_tag() method will pass along the correct builder to the Tag() object, and it is the builder that is responsible for recognising <img/> as an empty tag.
Demo:
>>> from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup('<div></div>', "html5")
>>> new_tag = soup.new_tag('img', src='/some/url/here')
>>> new_tag
<img src="/some/url/here"/>
>>> soup.div.append(new_tag)
>>> print soup.prettify()
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<img src="/some/url/here"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>
