FYI, "soup" is html of the article page currently being processed which has been dropped into a database by
BeautifulSoup so that you can find, remove, replace and manipulate all the html tags on that page by where they are relative to other tags (Next, Previous) were they are relative to other tags at the same level (Next Sibling, parent), etc. It's at the heart of how Calibre's recipe system scrapes web pages.
