Formatting python scrape output in flask

Question

I have just started web scraping. The eventual idea is to display such information from many websites on my web page. My question is where/what should I start to read about formatting the return statement output. The current output is all garbled. I have tried reading up on it however, couldn't make much sense of it. Is there some place where I can read it in the context of displaying this in a nice way on the web page?

The output has got this layout because of the way you are reading the webpage using BeautifulSoup.

You should try to break the contents of the page parsed by BeautifulSoup, getting all the information you need and displaying in the format you expect. You should probably do this in the code, not in the html page.

You could read more about parsing the page in the BeautifulSoup Documentation. https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/
