Question 306229 in Html Question posted in
Some basic documentation can be found here.

What python script will find the locations of every backslash inside of an HTML tag and replace the backslash with a forward slash?

Test Input

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>This is a title</title>
  <head>
  <body>
    <div>
        <p>H/e/l/l/o abcdefgw/o/r/l/d!</p>
    </div>
  <body>
<html>

Test Output

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>This is a title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
        <p>H/e/l/l/o abcdefgw/o/r/l/d!</p>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

We do not want to replace every single forward slash with backslash /.

Some the of backslashes are intended to be backslashes.

We wish only to replace backslash with forward slash / if the backslash is inside of a mispelled HTML tag such as <kbd>

    You can use regular expressions

    import re


def convert_backslash(text):
    return re.sub(r'<\', r'</', text, re.MULTILINE)

    Text input must be a raw string like r"…"

    text_input = r"""
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<HTML>
  <head>
    <title>This is a title</title>
  <head>
  <body>
    <div>
        <p>H/e/l/l/o abcdefgw/o/r/l/d!</p>
    </div>
  <body>
<html>"""

print(convert_backslash(text_input))

    Output:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>This is a title</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
        <p>H/e/l/l/o abcdefgw/o/r/l/d!</p>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>
