I tried: content = findall('(.*)', web_page_contents, re.DOTALL) But I get the next mention of instead of this one^

You can use BeautifulSoup to do that. It has a very good documentation and is very easy.

The following code will work:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

r = requests.get(webpage_url)
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'lxml')
for link in soup.find_all('link'):
    print link.text
