- 2I tried both html2text and nltk but they didn't work for me. I ended up going with Beautiful Soup 4, which works beautifully (no pun intended).Ryan Shea– Ryan Shea2015-04-30 18:58:08 +00:00Commented Apr 30, 2015 at 18:58
- 4I know that's not (AT ALL) the place, but i follow the link to Aaron's blog and github profile and projects, and found myself very disturbed by the fact there is no mention of his death and it's of course frozen in 2012, as if time stopped or he took a very long vacation. Very disturbing.julienfr112– julienfr1122017-09-08 23:18:56 +00:00Commented Sep 8, 2017 at 23:18

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. python-3.x), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
