def convert_tree(beautiful_soup_tree, makeelement=None): (source)

Convert a BeautifulSoup tree to a list of Element trees. Returns a list instead of a single root Element to support HTML-like soup with more than one root element. You can pass a different Element factory through the `makeelement` keyword.

def fromstring(data, beautifulsoup=None, makeelement=None, **bsargs): (source)

Parse a string of HTML data into an Element tree using the BeautifulSoup parser. Returns the root ``<html>`` Element of the tree. You can pass a different BeautifulSoup parser through the `beautifulsoup` keyword, and a diffent Element factory function through the `makeelement` keyword. By default, the standard ``BeautifulSoup`` class and the default factory of `lxml.html` are used.

def parse(file, beautifulsoup=None, makeelement=None, **bsargs): (source)

Parse a file into an ElemenTree using the BeautifulSoup parser. You can pass a different BeautifulSoup parser through the `beautifulsoup` keyword, and a diffent Element factory function through the `makeelement` keyword. By default, the standard ``BeautifulSoup`` class and the default factory of `lxml.html` are used.
