@alana To extract text from an HTML document using BeautifulSoup, you can use the get_text() method. You can extract the text from the document using the following Python code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup with open('index.html') as f: soup = BeautifulSoup(f, 'html.parser') text = soup.get_text() print(text) |
Html code as an example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
<html> <head> <title>My website</title> </head> <body> <h1>My Website header</h1> <p>My website text.</p> </body> </html> |

The output of the code snippet above would be:
My website My Website header My website text.
The get_text() method extracts all the text content from the HTML document, including the text inside tags like headings, paragraphs, and other elements. It removes any HTML tags and returns plain text.
