elm.utilities.parse.format_html_tables

format_html_tables(text, **kwargs)[source]

Format tables within HTML text into pretty markdown.

Note that if pandas does not detect enough tables in the text to match the “<table>” tags, no replacement is performed at all.

Parameters:

  • text (str) – HTML text, possible containing tables enclosed by the “<table>” tag.

  • **kwargs – Keyword-arguments to pass to pandas.DataFrame.to_markdown function. Must not contain the “headers” keyword (this is supplied internally).

Returns:

str – Text with HTML tables (if any) converted to markdown.
