keep_only_tags

So apparently you can keep the tag with a the id of "content"

keep_only_tags = [dict(id=['content'])]

However, is it possible to keep the tag with a class? As the class is a built-in word for python, like:

<div class="content" id="124"></div>

I believe you can but recipe questions get a more thorough response if asked in the custom recipe sticky thread.

The tags are all processed by BeautifulSoup, and here is a link explaining the interaction between the Python keyword and BeautifulSoup.

In short, the answer is that you can keep or remove tags with the "class" keyword without conflict with the Python keyword. Almost all recipes do, and looking at a few will show you how it's done.

This is how it's done:

id example

keep_only_tags = [dict(attrs={'id':'content'})]

class example

keep_only_tags = [dict(attrs={'class':'content'})]
