Hey! I feel you on the beautifulsoup html text trim struggle. One thing I’ve found super useful is combining `.get_text()` with some regex to clean up extra spaces and line breaks. Like, after you get the text, you can use `re.sub(r'\s+', ' ', text)` to replace multiple spaces or line breaks with a single space. It’s not perfect, but it helps a lot with messy HTML.
For nested tags, I usually loop through them and handle each one individually. It’s a bit tedious, but it gives you more control over what gets trimmed and what stays.
Also, check out the `lxml` library if you haven’t already. It’s faster and sometimes handles messy HTML better than BeautifulSoup.
