Change HTML in Python

Python HTML programmatic editor provides developers with a modern API to edit HTML programmatically. Quickly integrate HTML modification features into your software. Our library supports the modification of a variety of document formats in Python.

The task of editing HTML programmatically in Python is the task of modifying elements in the HTML document tree. It is also known as the 'DOM' - the programming model for interacting with HTML document elements and their properties.

Edit HTML in Python

HTML modification features are inseparable from the advanced HTML search functionality. For a hig level of flexibility, our Python library provides developers with HTML Regex-based search functionality. This approach expands the possibilities to edit text in HTML files, allowing the use of templates for dynamic HTML transformation.

Edit table in HTML using Python

One of the most requested features is the dynamic creation and modification of tables in HTML documents. Working with tables is very convenient with Python library: edit tables, update tables and extract table text using Python.

The following example demostrates how to modify a HTML document in Python:

Example in Python to edit HTML files
Upload a document you want to modify

builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

# Insert text at the beginning of the document.
builder.move_to_document_start()
builder.writeln("Morbi enim nunc faucibus a.")

doc.save("Output.html")
import aspose.words as aw

doc = aw.Document("Input.html")
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

# Insert table at the beginning of the document.
builder.move_to_document_start()
builder.start_table()
builder.insert_cell()
builder.write("Row 1, cell 1.")
builder.insert_cell()
builder.write("Row 1, cell 2.")
builder.end_table()

doc.save("Output.html")
import aspose.words as aw

doc = aw.Document("Input.html")
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)

# Insert image at the beginning of the document.
builder.move_to_document_start()
builder.insert_image("Image.png")

doc.save("Output.html")
Run code
