I got this little piece of code:
text = """<html><head></head><body>
<h1 style="
text-align: center;
">Main site</h1>
<div>
<p style="
color: blue;
text-align: center;
">text1
</p>
<p style="
color: blueviolet;
text-align: center;
">text2
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center">
<img src="./foo/test.jpg" alt="Testing static images" style="
">
</p>
</div>
</body></html>
"""
import sys
import re
import bs4
def prettify(soup, indent_width=4):
r = re.compile(r'^(\s*)', re.MULTILINE)
return r.sub(r'\1' * indent_width, soup.prettify())
soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(text, "html.parser")
print(prettify(soup))
The output of the above snippet right now is:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1 style="
text-align: center;
">
Main site
</h1>
<div>
<p style="
color: blue;
text-align: center;
">
text1
</p>
<p style="
color: blueviolet;
text-align: center;
">
text2
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center">
<img alt="Testing static images" src="./foo/test.jpg" style="
"/>
</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I'd like to figure out how to format the output so it becomes this instead:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">
Main site
</h1>
<div>
<p style="color: blue;text-align: center;">
text1
</p>
<p style="color: blueviolet;text-align: center;">
text2
</p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="text-align:center">
<img alt="Testing static images" src="./foo/test.jpg" style=""/>
</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Said otherwise, I'd like to keep html statements such as <tag attrib1=value1 attrib2=value2 ... attribn=valuen>
in one single line if possible. When I say "if possible" I mean without screwing up the value of the attributes themselves (value1, value2, ..., valuen).
Is this possible to achieve with beautifulsoup4? As far I've read in the docs it seems you can use a custom formatter but I don't know how I could have a custom formatter so it can accomplish the described requirements.
EDIT:
@alecxe solution is quite simple, unfortunately fails in some more complex cases like the below one, ie:
test1 = """
<div id="dialer-capmaign-console" class="fill-vertically" style="flex: 1 1 auto;">
<div id="sessionsGrid" data-columns="[
{ field: 'dialerSession.startTime', format:'{0:G}', title:'Start time', width:122 },
{ field: 'dialerSession.endTime', format:'{0:G}', title:'End time', width:122, attributes: {class:'tooltip-column'}},
{ field: 'conversationStartTime', template: cty.ui.gct.duration_dialerSession_conversationStartTime_endTime, title:'Duration', width:80},
{ field: 'dialerSession.caller.lastName',template: cty.ui.gct.person_dialerSession_caller_link, title:'Caller', width:160 },
{ field: 'noteType',template:cty.ui.gct.nameDescription_noteType, title:'Note type', width:150, attributes: {class:'tooltip-column'}},
{ field: 'note', title:'Note'}
]">
</div>
</div>
"""
