How can I convert String (with linebreaks) to HTML?

Question

When I print the string (in Python) coming from a website I scraped it from, it looks like this:

"His this 

is 

a sample

String"

It does not show the \n breaks. this is what I see in a Python interpreter.

And I want to convert it to HTML that will add in the line breaks. I was looking around and didn't see any libraries that do this out of the box.

I was thinking BeautifulSoup, but wasn't quite sure.

Answer 1

如果您有从文件中读取的字符串，则可以通过执行以下操作将\\n替换为<br> ，这是html中的换行符：

my_string.replace('\n', '<br>')

Answer 2

I believe this will work

for line in text:
   for char in line:
      if char == "/n":
         text.replace(char, "<br>")

Answer 3

You can use the python replace(...) method to replace all line breaks with the html version <br> and possibly surround the string in a paragraph tag <p>...</p> . Let's say the name of the variable with the text is text :

html = "<p>" + text.replace("\n", "<br>") + "</p>"

searching for this answer in found this, witch is likely better because it encodes all characters, at least for python 3 Python – Convert HTML Characters To Strings

# import html
import html

# Create Text
text = 'Γeeks for Γeeks'

# It Converts given text To String
print(html.unescape(text))

# It Converts given text to HTML Entities
print(html.escape(text))
