I am trying to create html via yattag. Only problem is, the header file I use from another html file, so I read that file and try to insert that as header. Here is the problem. Though I pass unescaped html string, yattag escapes it. That is it converts '<' to < while adding to html string.
MWE:
from yattag import Doc, indent
import html
doc, tag, text = Doc().tagtext()
h = open(nbheader_template, 'r')
h_content= h.read()
h_content = html.unescape(h_content)
doc.asis('<!DOCTYPE html>')
with tag('html'):
# insert dummy head
with tag('head'):
text(h_content) # just some dummy text to replace later - workaround for now
with tag('body'):
# insert as many divs as no of files
for i in range(counter):
with tag('div', id = 'divID_'+ str(1)):
text('Div Page: ' + str(i))
result = indent(doc.getvalue())
# inject raw head - dirty workaround as yattag not doing it
# result = result.replace('<head>headtext</head>',h_content)
with open('test.html', "w") as file:
file.write(result)
Output:

Context: I am trying to combine multiple jupyter python notebooks, in to a single html, that is why heavy header. The header content (nbheader_template) could be found here
If you want to prevent the escaping you have to use doc.asis instead of text.
The asis methods appends a string to the document without any form of escaping.
