How to write and save html file in python?
As others have mentioned, use triple quotes ”””abc”””
for multiline strings. Also, you can do this without having to call close()
using the with
keyword. This is, to my knowledge, best practice (see comment below). For example:
# HTML String
html = """
<table border=1>
<tr>
<th>Number</th>
<th>Square</th>
</tr>
<indent>
<% for i in range(10): %>
<tr>
<td><%= i %></td>
<td><%= i**2 %></td>
</tr>
</indent>
</table>
"""
# Write HTML String to file.html
with open("file.html", "w") as file:
file.write(html)
See https://stackoverflow.com/a/11783672/2206251 for more details on the with
keyword in Python.
You can create multi-line strings by enclosing them in triple quotes. So you can store your HTML in a string and pass that string to write()
:
html_str = """
<table border=1>
<tr>
<th>Number</th>
<th>Square</th>
</tr>
<indent>
<% for i in range(10): %>
<tr>
<td><%= i %></td>
<td><%= i**2 %></td>
</tr>
</indent>
</table>
"""
Html_file= open("filename","w")
Html_file.write(html_str)
Html_file.close()
