So how shell i separately get "C99 standard guarantees uniqueness of ____ characters for internal" , "31","63","12","14", "C99 standard guarantess uniqueness of _____ characters for external" and "31","6","12","14" and so on......

Along with this i also do not need bullet numbering and alphabetically

code:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(htmls, 'html.parser')
h4s = soup.find_all('p')
for h4 in h4s:
    for text in h4.find_next_siblings('br'):
        print(text.strip())

Any idea where i am wrong ?

Answer 1

You can try CSS Selector in this case- soup.select('div.entry-content p') will select a div with class(see . ) name entry-content and all p inside that div. I assumed there is only one div with that class name.

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

html = """<div class="entry-content" style="visibility: visible; opacity: 1;">
 <div style="text-align:justify">
