How to Convert HTML Using Python
Aspose.HTML for Python via .NET API API is a powerful solution for parsing and processing HTML documents using Python. HTML, the backbone of the Internet, is the primary language for presenting information on websites. Sometimes, you need to convert HTML into various formats such as PDF, XPS, DOCX, Markdown, MHTML, and images to use them for specific tasks. Aspose.HTML for Python via .NET API makes the conversion process easier for developers. It loads the file using HTMLDocument class, creates the relevant save options object and uses the Converter class relevant conversion method.
The Python API simplifies this conversion process, offering developers a streamlined approach through three fundamental steps:
- Load an HTML document into a Document object using the HTMLDocument class. You can load HTML from a file, HTML code, or URL.
- Depending on the target format (e.g., PDF, XPS, DOCX, MHTML, Markdown, images), create the corresponding SaveOptions object. This object allows you to specify various parameters relevant to the output format, such as quality, page setup, image format, etc. The aspose.html.saving namespace is presented by data classes for description of specific save options at conversion & saving process.
- Invoke one of the convert_html() methods and pass the required parameters to it.
Use the powerful Python API to process HTML content and convert it into the format your applications need!
