Intelligently pretty-print HTML/XML with inline tags.

Project description

prettierfier

While I love Beautiful Soup as a parser, BeautifulSoup.prettify() adds a linebreak between every tag. This results in unwanted white space between tags that should be inline, like <sup>, <a>, <span>, etc:

<p>Introducing GitHub<sup>&reg;</sup></p>

Introducing GitHub®

vs.

<p>
    Introducing GitHub
    <sup>
        &reg;
    </sup>
</p>

Introducing GitHub ®

This module parses HTML/XML as a raw string to more intelligently format tags.

Installation

You have two options:

  1. pip install prettierfier in your command line
  2. Copy the contents of prettierfier.py to your own module.

This module is built with just the Python Standard Library and contains no external third-party dependencies.

Functions

prettify_xml(xml_string, indent=2, debug=False)

  • Can be used with no prior formatting.
    Args:
        xml_string (str): XML text to prettify.
        indent (int, optional): Set size of XML tag indents.

    Test-only args:
        debug (bool, optional): Show results of each regexp application.

    Returns:
        str: Prettified XML.

prettify_html(html_string, debug=False)

  • Originally created to process BeautifulSoup.prettify() output.
  • Does not add or remove regular line breaks. Can be used with regular HTML if it already has the newlines you want to keep.
    Args:
        html_string (str): HTML string to parse.

    Test-only args:
        debug (bool, optional): Show results of each regexp application.

    Returns:
        str: Prettified HTML.

Example

import prettierfier

ugly_html = """<p>
    Introducing GitHub
    <sup>
        &reg;
    </sup>
</p>"""

pretty_html = prettierfier.prettify_html(ugly_html)
print(pretty_html) 

# Output
>>> <p>Introducing GitHub<sup>&reg;</sup></p>
