Question

I have a Tag which is available to me as a string only.
Example: tag_str = ‘hello’

When I do the following:

template_logo_h1_tag.insert(0, tag_str)

Where
template_logo_h1_tag is a h1 tag

the resulting template_logo_h1_tag is

<h1 id="logo">&lt;a&gt;hello&lt;/a&gt;</h1>

I want to avoid this HTML escaping
and the resulting tag to be

<h1 id="logo"><a>hello</a></h1>

Is there anything I am missing?
I tried BeautifulSoup.HTML_ENTITIES but this to unescape already “html-escaped” strings.
It would be great if you could help me out!

Answer 1

I found a dirty hack:

template_logo_h1_tag.insert(0, BeautifulSoup(‘hello’).a)
