How can I insert a new tag into a BeautifulSoup object?

Question

Trying to get my head around html construction with BS.

I\'m trying to insert a new tag:

self.new_soup.body.insert(3, \"\"\"


        
      

Answer 1

See the documentation on how to append a tag:

soup = BeautifulSoup("")
original_tag = soup.b

new_tag = soup.new_tag("a", href="http://www.example.com")
original_tag.append(new_tag)
original_tag
# 

new_tag.string = "Link text."
original_tag
# Link text.
