I have the following text from a web page:
<dd><p class="Definition"><span class="DefinitionTerm"><df>Example Term</df>
</span>Here is the meaning of my term and its description; (<span
class="TermLink" lang="fr">définition</span>)</p></dd>
<dd><p class="Definition"><span class="DefinitionTerm"><df>Example Term
2</df></span>Here is the meaning of my term 2 and its description; (<span
class="TermLink" lang="fr">définition</span>)</p></dd>
<dd><p class="Definition"><span class="DefinitionTerm"><df>Example Term
3</df></span>Here is the meaning of my term 3 and its description; (<span
class="TermLink" lang="fr">définition</span>)</p></dd>
I am trying to use the python beautifulsoup library to pull the Definitionterm e.g. "Example Term" followed by it's description.
Hence i would like to see:
"Example Term", "Here is the meaning of my term and its description"
"Example Term2", "Here is the meaning of my term2 and its description"
"Example Term3", "Here is the meaning of my term3 and its description"
