I’m trying to parse a malformed XHTML page in Python. I just want to get a few tags of the same type from it, but it seems impossible. Normal XHTML parsers doesn’t like the malformedness, and BeautifulSoup won’t work because of syntax errors in its code. What would be the best way to parse malformed XHTML and get the content of a couple of tags of the same type?
Thanks for the help! “Unfortunately” I solved it myself by using this parser and setting
html.parser.HTMLParser(strict=False). That made it read malformed XHTML quite well.
