[lxml-dev] removing nested element from html wipes text
Hi I got missing text after removing last element.. I've tried 2.0 beta but still no luck. txt=""" '<p> startPara <strong>str0ng</strong> MiddleP <u>UUUUUUUUU</u> <b>Bold</b> EndPara </p>""" ee=etree.HTML(txt) pp=ee.xpath('//p')[0]
pp.tail
pp.xpath('./text()') ['startPara', 'MiddleP', 'EndPara']
bold=pp.xpath('./b')[0] bold.clear()
pp.xpath('./text()') ['startPara', 'MiddleP']
as at seen EndPara text is missing

Try this: >>> print bold.tail EndPara So the tail text is actually part of the Element.
bold.clear()
And this clears your Element. >>> bold.tail None Try "help(bold.clear)" or read this: http://effbot.org/zone/pythondoc-elementtree-ElementTree.htm#elementtree.Ele...
pp.xpath('./text()') ['startPara', 'MiddleP']
So this is the expected result. http://codespeak.net/lxml/dev/tutorial.html#elements-contain-text Stefan
