I have just started web scraping. The eventual idea is to display such information from many websites on my web page. My question is where/what should I start to read about formatting the return statement output. The current output is all garbled. I have tried reading up on it however, couldn't make much sense of it. Is there some place where I can read it in the context of displaying this in a nice way on the flask web page?

It's how you're retrieving the contents of the website with BeautifulSoup. I would look this over: https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/bs4/doc/

Hey ..Thanks for the link. I'd just like t say that..finding the elements isn't an issue..neither is outputting them on the console as text. I was trying to find a way where the output could be formatted for fonts, size. color etc when placed inside a flask app...so It kind of displays the result on the flask web page with formatting..can you point me somewhere to read up on that.

I don't really know anything about flask, but wouldn't that kinda thing just be done in CSS?
Maybe this will help https://realpython.com/flask-by-example-...soup-nltk/

The problem was the return statement. I didn't know how to format it. The text itself is of course will be handled in CSS and HTML. I am still having trouble with getting to display elements as I want them...but will work on it.
