Python/BeautifulSoup - how to remove all tags from an element?

Question

How can I simply strip all tags from an element I find in BeautifulSoup?

Answer 1

Code to simply get the contents as text instead of html:

'html_text' parameter is the string which you will pass in this function to get the text

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

soup = BeautifulSoup(html_text, 'lxml')
text = soup.get_text()
print(text)
