Custom indent width for BeautifulSoup .prettify()

Question

Is there any way to define custom indent width for .prettify() function? From what I can get from it\'s source -

def prettify(self, encoding=No         


        

Answer 1

If you're using pycharm you can automatically reformat a html-file by pressing:

ctrl + alt + L

while having your prettified html-file open in pycharm.

This will change indentation from one space to 4, or whatever you set for html in Settings>Editor>Code Style>HTML (default = 4).

You would have to do this for every html-file you run prettify() on.

Sorry if I'm reviving an old thread but I had the same problem and found a simple solution.
