Finding tags
Tags can be found normally and printed normally using print().
Example:
Python3
# Importing BeautifulSoup class from the bs4 module from bs4 import BeautifulSoup # Opening the html file HTMLFile = open("index.html", "r") # Reading the file index = HTMLFile.read() # Creating a BeautifulSoup object and specifying the parser Parse = BeautifulSoup(index, 'lxml') # Printing html code of some tags print(Parse.head) print(Parse.h1) print(Parse.h2) print(Parse.h3) print(Parse.li) |
Output:
