[ElementTree] Insert big block of HTML?

[Winfried]

Hello,

I have only shallow experience with XML parsers — although I'm currently dealing with HTML.

Unless I missed it, neither lxml nor ElementTree provides a function to insert a big block of HTML at a location in the tree. Before I use a regex instead of those XML parsers… do you confirm?

Thank you.

Here's what it could look like:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

import lxml.etree as et from lxml import html from io import StringIO   with open("input.html") as reader:     content = reader.read() parser = et.HTMLParser(encoding='latin1',remove_blank_text=True,recover=True) tree = et.parse(StringIO(content), parser) root = tree.getroot()   body = root.find("body") with open("block.html") as reader:     big_block = reader.read() #HERE body.insert_after(big_block)
