BeautifulSoup4 findChildren() is empty

I'm trying to use the findChildren() function. I basically want all the <p> under a particular <h3> tag. I'm trying a simple amount of code but the set children. I'm getting back is empty. h3 returns the correct line (see print(h3) comment) and the print(type(children)) prints type: <class 'bs4.element.ResultSet'>. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
soup = BeautifulSoup(contents, 'html.parser')
h3 = soup.find('h3', text=re.compile('chapter', re.IGNORECASE))
print(h3) #result prints <h3 style="text-align: center;">CHAPTER ONE - STEPHANUS GRAYLAND</h3>
children = h3.findChildren('p')
print(type(children)) #returns type: <class 'bs4.element.ResultSet'>
I also tried h3.findChildren('p', Recursive=True) and children = h3.findChildren(Recursive=True). Which also come back empty.
Here's the section of HTML I'm trying to grab:
<h3 style="text-align: center;">CHAPTER ONE - STEPHANUS GRAYLAND</h3>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Stephanus Grayland did not try to hide his smile of satisfaction . He had “eaten” lunch, but now, he sensed, he would truly </span>
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">feast</span>
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span>
</p>
<p></p>

Thanks to those who responded. My problem is that <h3> and the sub <p>s are siblings not parent/child. I think these posts are what I'm after code-wise but my comment above remains. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/51571609/… and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/51852588/

In the sample you provided, the h3 node has no children. All of the p nodes are outside of that scope.
If you wrap your contents in a div (say) then you can see you're using the right technique
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup('<div>' + contents + '</div>', 'html.parser')
>>> div = soup.find('div')
>>> div.findChildren('p')
[<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Stephanus Grayland did not try to hide his smile of satisfaction . He had “eaten” lunch, but now, he sensed, he would truly </span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">feast</span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p>, <p> </p>]
>>>
Edit
As you mention in your comments above, the h3 and p nodes are siblings in the content you've supplied. I'm not sure it makes sense to have p elements that are children of h3, but if you did it would look like
<h3>
This content is within the h3 tag
<p>this is a child of h3</p>
<p>another child</p>
</h3>
<p>this is not a child of h3 as it is after the h3 close tag</p>
It's not really clear what the conditions for selecting p nodes in your example content should be - a simple soup.find('p') would return all of those tags, but I suspect you need to limit it in some way to prevent other content from being included. Can you elaborate? You possibly just want something like:
>>> soup = BeautifulSoup(content, 'html.parser')
>>> h3 = soup.find('h3')
>>> h3.find_next_sibling('p')
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Stephanus Grayland did not try to hide his smile of satisfaction . He had “eaten” lunch, but now, he sensed, he would truly </span>
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">feast</span>
<span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span>
</p>

Thank you for your patience. I had to figure out how to get the html structure, prettify the html and write to a file to see the relationships better, etc. The pages I need to process (I didn't write them) have a structure as below. After building the bs4 structure, I figured out my desired content starts at the <article..> tag and ends at the beginning of the next <script...> code here</<script> <h3>Comments</h3>. I'm not sure how to terminate a search between two different tags. I was able to grab EVERYTHING between an <h3> tag and the next <h3> tag. But that pulls the <script> section which I don't want. Thanks again for continuing help! -Meghan

python-pdfkit (wkhtmltopdf) TOC overflow

I currently am creating a perfectly good PDF. there is nothing technically wrong with it. However, the TOC is ugly.
The TOC is generated via xsl which is passed through jinja2 for simple details to the top section of the page. I have modified the XSL to match the client's branding and design precisely. However, the list keeps growing in height.
Here is the current result (sorry to blur the text) you can see the toc picks up at the right spot on the new page, but there seems to be no way to apply a top margin to the new page:
The code:
Here is the xsl:

I have dealt with content overflows in other areas of the PDF using traditional HTML, JavaScript, and a document ready flag. The TOC however requires an XSL file instead.
I tried do this with nth-child css nth-child is ignored.
The question:
*Is there a way within wkhtmltopdf or python pdf-kit to deal with page breaks in the TOC specifically, and place a better margin top on the new page? is there a way to supply a TOC as a traditional html page so that I can do this with javaScript instead? *

Code review
I made a quick code review in your XSL (and CSS) file.
Even if it doesn’t solve your problem, it help reproducing and understanding it.
Here is my comments:
Your XSL has a typo: <! begin LI> is not a valid XML tab. Is it a comment?
I prefer using the concat() XPath function to append characters directly. Because, if you re-indent your code, you may introduce extra whitespaces.
So, I replaced:
<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="#link"/> . </xsl:attribute>
By:
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(#link, ' . ')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
I added a xs:if to prevent generating an empty <ul> if it is not necessary:
<xsl:if test="count(outline:item)">
<ul>
<xsl:comment>added to prevent self-closing tags in QtXmlPatterns</xsl:comment>
<xsl:apply-templates select="outline:item"/>
</ul>
</xsl:if>
I also fixed duplicate or mal-formed CSS entries, I replaced:
li {
border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(45, 117, 183);
}
span {
float: right;
}
li {
list-style: none;
margin-top: 30px;
}
ul ul {font-size: 80%; padding-top:0px;}
ul {padding-left: 0em; padding-top:0px;}
ul ul {padding-left: 1em; padding-top:0px;}
a {text-decoration:none; color: color:#2d75b7;}
by:
span {
float: right;
}
li {
list-style: none;
margin-top: 30px;
border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(45, 117, 183);
}
ul {
font-size: 70px;
font-family: arial;
color: #2d75b7;
}
ul ul {
font-size: 80%;
padding-left: 1em;
padding-top: 0px;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
color: #2d75b7;
}
If you target XHTML, the <style> tag has a mandatory type attribute. Same remark for the <script> attribute.
<style type="text/css">...</style>
<script type="text/javascript">...</script>
Reproducing the problem
It was a little hard to reproduce your bug, because of a lack of information. So I guess it.
First, I create a sample TOC file, which look like this:
outline.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<outline xmlns="http://wkhtmltopdf.org/outline">
<item>
<item title="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit." page="2"/>
<item title="Cras at odio ultrices, elementum leo at, facilisis nibh." page="8"/>
<item title="Vestibulum sed libero bibendum, varius massa vitae, dictum arcu." page="19"/>
...
<item title="Sed semper augue quis enim varius viverra." page="467"/>
</item>
</outline>
This file contains 70 items so that I can see the page breaks.
To build the HTML and PDF I used your (fixed) XSL file and run pdfkit:
import io
import os
import pdfkit
from lxml import etree
HERE = os.path.dirname(__file__)
def layout(src_path, dst_path):
# load the XSL
xsl_path = os.path.join(HERE, "layout.xsl")
xsl_tree = etree.parse(xsl_path)
# load the XML source
src_tree = etree.parse(src_path)
# transform
transformer = etree.XSLT(xsl_tree)
dst_tree = transformer.apply(src_tree)
# write the result
with io.open(dst_path, mode="wb") as f:
f.write(etree.tostring(dst_tree, encoding="utf-8", method="html"))
if __name__ == '__main__':
layout(os.path.join(HERE, "outline.xml"), os.path.join(HERE, "outline.html"))
pdfkit.from_file(os.path.join(HERE, "outline.html"),
os.path.join(HERE, "outline.pdf"),
options={'page-size': 'A1', 'orientation': 'landscape'})
note: your page size looks very huge…
Solution
You are right, wkhtmltopdf doesn't take into account the margin in your CSS:
li {
list-style: none;
border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(45, 117, 183);
margin-top: 30px; # <-- not working after page break
}
This is a normal behavior, consider for instance the header paragraphs (h1, h2, etc.).
A header can have a top margin in order to add white space between a paragraph and the following header,
but, if the header starts a new page we want to get rid of the margin, and have the heading touching to top margin of the page.
For your TOC, there is a solution. You can use padding (instead of margin):
li {
border-bottom: 1px dashed rgb(45, 117, 183);
list-style: none;
padding-top: 30px;
}
Actually, the TOC content (#toc element) is fixed:
#toc {
width: 50%;
margin-top: 150px;
margin-left: 300px;
}
So, you can reduce the margin-top to match your need, for instance:
#toc {
width: 50%;
margin-top: 120px;
margin-left: 300px;
}

html script csv to html table

I don't have any idea about html. Some how i got code to convert csv to html.
Below is code:
import sys
import csv
# Open the CSV file for reading
def populate_table(csv_fl):
reader = csv.reader(open(csv_fl))
# Create the HTML file for output
html_table = ''
# initialize rownum variable
rownum = 0
# write <table> tag
html_table= '<table>\n'
# generate table contents
for row in reader: # Read a single row from the CSV file
# write header row. assumes first row in csv contains header
if rownum == 0:
html_table += '<tr>\n' # write <tr> tag
for column in row:
html_table += '<th>' + column + '</th>\n'
html_table += '</tr>\n'
#write all other rows
else:
html_table += '<tr>\n'
for column in row:
if 'fail' in column or 'Fail' in column:
html_table += "<td style='color:red'>" + column + '</td>\n'
continue
html_table += '<td>' + column + '</td>\n'
html_table += '</tr>\n'
#increment row count
rownum += 1
# write </table> tag
html_table += '</table>\n'
return html_table
Above code if string contains Fail or fail it will make red color cell.
I need help here to make full line in red color (Not single cell).
Below is code to fill html (Indent is wrong. If need correct indent code i will share in link ).
I will excute below code like below:

xhtml2pdf doesn't embed Helvetica

I'm creating a PDF with xhtml2pdf using Django. I'm sending that PDF to print, but then they say that some Fonts are not embed. I have a Helvetica font, but I didn't use Helvetica in the PDFs.
Here you have a Screen Shot of the properties of the PDF
As you see, Guilles'ComicFont and TF2Secondary are correclty embbeded, but not with Helvetica.
Here you have my view that generates the PDF:

Anyone knows why is using Helvetica? Or there is any way to embed Helvetica? I'm trying with "#font-face" but It's not working.

Helvetica is one of the standard fonts that every PDF renderer has to have available. Therefore it doesn't have to be embedded.
A possible solution would be to use another sans-serif font instead of Helvetica. On windows e.g. Arial. On OSX e.g. Helvetica Neue or Avenir. They look a lot like Helvetica, but are not standard PDF fonts.
In your stylesheet, specify a new font for all elements;
* {
font-family: Avenir;
}

How do I specify a header/footer for html2pdf to use when rendering a pdf?

I'm using the html2pdf python library, and would like to define a header and a footer to apply to each page (including fun things, like a page count for the footer). What is the most expedient method I can use to specify headers/footers with html2pdf?

See if this is what needs friend. The header and footer is fixed and informs the count of pages.

Easy Blueberry! You can use pages and frames to define headers and footers by placing them in your HTML doc's style tag.
<html>
<head>
<style>
/* Page margins are defined using CSS */
#page {
margin: 1cm;
margin-top:2.5cm;
margin-bottom: 2.5cm;
/* Header frame starts within margin-top of #page */
#frame header {
-pdf-frame-content: headerContent; /* headerContent is the #id of the element */
top: 1cm;
margin-left: 1cm;
margin-right:1cm;
height:1cm;
}
/* Footer frame starts outside margin-bottom of #page */
#frame footer {
-pdf-frame-content: footerContent;
bottom: 2cm;
margin-left: 1cm;
margin-right: 1cm;
height: 1cm;
}
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="headerContent">I'm a header!</div>
<p>I could be some content</p>
<div id="footerContent">I'm a footer! <pdf:pagenumber></div>
</body>
</html>
pdf:pagenumber is a tag used to display page count. There are many more tags included. Just refer to the official documentation!
