prepare_markup(markup, user_specified_encoding=None, document_declared_encoding=None, exclude_encodings=None)#

Run any preliminary steps necessary to make incoming markup acceptable to the parser.

Parameters:

  • markup – Some markup – probably a bytestring.

  • user_specified_encoding – The user asked to try this encoding.

  • document_declared_encoding – The markup itself claims to be in this encoding.

  • exclude_encodings – The user asked _not_ to try any of these encodings.

Yield:

A series of 4-tuples: (markup, encoding, declared encoding,

has undergone character replacement)

Each 4-tuple represents a strategy for converting the document to Unicode and parsing it. Each strategy will be tried in turn.

feed(markup)#

Run some incoming markup through some parsing process, populating the BeautifulSoup object in self.soup.
