Parsing HTML with a regex is never a good option, but it's sometimes the only option.

Parsing HTML with a regex is never a good option, but it's sometimes the only option.
- pkal 3mo agoIn the example from the article it certainly is an option. In Python you could either use a "soup" library or you could play around with a tool like https://www.w3.org/Tools/HTML-XML-utils/man1/hxpipe.html https://www.w3.org/Tools/HTML-XML-utils/man1/hxpipe.html. The more fundamental question for me is why the author didn't decide to make make code blocks non-breaking by default, or just add the class annotations when he writes the HTML?
