how to remove html encodings from a string in django

Question

I have used the strip_tags function. It removes tags like "<p>, <b>", etc but things like "  “" and other html encodings remain. How to remove them ?

Pass the string to ‘unquote’ function

from urllib.parse import unquote
s = unquote(s)

@JustinEzequiel, coool ! Thanks :D – Alpha Jun 05 '21 at 18:25
This function decodes URL request escapes (the ones you find in URLs, of the form `%xx` - like "%20" for a space character), and not HTML escapes of the form `&...`. See [documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/urllib.parse.html#urllib.parse.unquote) – Anis R. Jun 05 '21 at 18:28
Thanks for the tip and explanation – Mohamed ElKalioby Jun 05 '21 at 18:35
