Trying to get my head around html construction with BS.
I'm trying to insert a new tag:
self.new_soup.body.insert(3, """<div id="file_history"></div>""") when I check the result, I get:
<div id="file_histor"y></div> So I'm inserting a string that being sanitised for websafe html..
What I expect to see is:
<div id="file_history"></div> How do I insert a new div tag in position 3 with the id file_history?

Step-by-step Approach: We assign a new element in the tag object using new_tag(). We assign a string to the tag object to attach our tags to before or after it(as specified). We insert the tag before the string using insert_before() function.
A tag object in BeautifulSoup corresponds to an HTML or XML tag in the actual page or document. Tags contain lot of attributes and methods and two important features of a tag are its name and attributes.
Going down. One of the important pieces of element in any piece of HTML document are tags, which may contain other tags/strings (tag's children). Beautiful Soup provides different ways to navigate and iterate over's tag's children.
Step 1: First, import the libraries Beautiful Soup, os and re. Step 2: Now, remove the last segment of the path. Step 3: Then, open the HTML file in which you wish to make a change. Step 4: Moreover, parse the HTML file in Beautiful Soup.
See the documentation on how to append a tag:
soup = BeautifulSoup("<b></b>") original_tag = soup.b new_tag = soup.new_tag("a", href="http://www.example.com") original_tag.append(new_tag) original_tag # <b><a href="http://www.example.com"></a></b> new_tag.string = "Link text." original_tag # <b><a href="http://www.example.com">Link text.</a></b> Use the factory method to create new elements:
new_tag = self.new_soup.new_tag('div', id='file_history') and insert it:
self.new_soup.body.insert(3, new_tag) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
