This lets you +locate a tag called (let's say) "find" with attribute +access. "soup.find" won't do what you want, but "soup.findTag" will. + +This still works In BS4 but it's deprecated. I could make +"soup.find_tag" work the same way as "soup.find('find')", but I don't +think it's worth it. + +CDATA +----- + +The elementtree XMLParser has a strip_cdata argument that, when set to +False, should allow Beautiful Soup to preserve CDATA sections instead +of treating them as text. Except it doesn't. (This argument is also +present for HTMLParser, and also does nothing there.) + +Currently, htm5lib converts CDATA sections into comments. An +as-yet-unreleased version of html5lib changes the parser's handling of +CDATA sections to allow CDATA sections in tags like <svg> and +<math>. The HTML5TreeBuilder will need to be updated to create CData +objects instead of Comment objects in this situation. |
