Extract plain text from HTML
Project description
Extract plain text from HTML
How is plainhtml different from .xpath("//text()") from lxml or .get_text() from bs4?
- Text extracted with
plainhtmldoes not contain inline styles, JavaScript, comments and other text that is not normally visible to users plainhtmlnormalizes whitespace, but in a way smarter than.xpath("normalize-space()"), adding spaces around inline elements (which are often used as block elements in HTML), and trying to avoid adding extra spaces for punctuationplainhtmlcan add newlines (e.g. after headers or paragraphs), so that the output text looks more like how it is rendered in browsers
Installation
$ pip install plainhtml
Example
>>> import plainhtml
>>> html = "<html><body><p>foo</p><p>bar</p></body></html>"
>>> plainhtml.extract_text(html)
'foo\n\nbar'
