Extract full text from different tags and outside them

I want to extract all text information from the already scrapped readme files from github. There is text between Html tags but there is also a lot of text outside (between) tags. Tags are different because those are different readmes so the authors do not follow any particular rules. I want to extract text from tags but also the rest outside any tag.
The example:

Instead, it's a from-theory-to-practice guide and you may enjoy it if any of the following: - You keep screaming "show me the code!" when reading about cyber attacks and malwares - You are a developer and want to learn security - You are a security engineer and want to learn Rust programming - You want to learn real-world and idiomatic rust practices - You believe that the best defense is thinking like an attacker - You learn by building and love to look under the hood - You value simplicity and pragmatism - You develop your own tools and exploits with Python, Ruby, C, Java... - You want to learn real-world offensive security, not just pentesting - You want to start making money with bug bounty programs - You prefer getting things done over analysis paralysis But I repeat, this book is NOT a computer science book. <h3> <a href=" the book now!</a> </h3> ## Table of contents #### 1 - Introduction ### Part I: Reconnaissance #### 2 - Multi-threaded attack surface discovery How to perform effective reconnaissance? In this chapter, we will build a multi-threaded scanner in order to automate the mapping of the target. #### 3 - Going full speed with async Unfortunately, when a program spends most of its time in I/O operations, multi-threading is not a panacea. We will learn how async makes Rust code really, really fast and refactor our scanner to async code. #### 4 - Adding modules with Trait objects We will add more heterogeneous modules to our scanner and will learn how Rust's type system helps create properly designed large software projects. #### 5 - Crawling the web for OSINT Leveraging all we learned previously, we will build an extremely fast web crawler to help us find the needles in the haystack the web is. ### Part II: Exploitation #### 6 - Finding vulnerabilities Once the external reconnaissance performed, it's time to find entry points. In this chapter we will learn how automated fuzzing can help us to find vulnerabilities that can be exploited to then gain access to our target's systems. #### 7 - Exploit development Rust may not be as fast as python when it comes to iterating on quick scripts such as exploits, but as we will see, its powerful type and modules system make it nonetheless a weapon of choice. #### 8 - Writing shellcodes in Rust Shellcode development is an ungrateful task. Writing assembly by hand is definitely not sexy. Fortunately for us, Rust, one more time, got our back! In this chapter we will learn how to write shellcodes in plain Rust with no_std. #### 9 - Phishing with WebAssembly When they can't find exploitable hardware or software vulnerability, attackers usually fall back to what is often the weakest link in the chain: Humans. Again, Rust comes handy and will let us create advanced phishing pages by compiling to WebAssembly. ### Part III: Implant development #### 10 - A modern RAT A RAT (for Remote Access Tool), also known as implant or beacon, is a kind of software used to perform offensive operations on a target's machines. In this chapter we will build our own RAT communicating to a remote server and database. #### 11 - Securing communications with end-to-end encryption The consequences of our own infrastructure being compromised or seized can be disastrous. We will add end-to-end encryption to our RAT's communication in order to secure its communications and avoid leaving traces on our servers. #### 12 - Going multi-platforms Today's computing landscape is extremely fragmented. From Windows to macOS, we can't target only one Operating System to ensure the success of our operations. In this section we will see how Rust's ecosystem is extremely useful when it comes to cross-compilation. #### 13 - Turning into a worm to increase reach Once the initial targets compromised, we will capitalize on Rust's excellent reusability to incorporate some parts of our initial scanner to turn our RAT into a worm and reach more targets only accessible from the target's internal network. #### 14 Conclusion Now it's **your** turn to get things done! <h3> <a href=" the book now!</a> </h3> ## FAQ ### Can I pay with PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay? Yes! You can now buy Black Hat Rust with PayPal, Apple Pay or Google Pay. [Go Here to proceed]( <!-- ### The book is too expensive! Black Hat Rust is designed to save you a lot of time in your learning journey of Rust and offensive security. The maths are simple: if the book saves you 20 hours, and you are paid 25$ / hour, you just saved 25 * 18 = 450$ Of course, I expect that the book will save you even more time! --> ### What to do if I don't have a VAT number? A European VAT number is optional, and you can skip the field or leave it empty if asked. <!-- ## Getting started **Knowledge has no value if you don't practice!** Where to start? I've got you covered! I've extracted the security scanner we build in the book from chapters 2, 3, 4, and 7 into [phaser]( an automated attack surface mapper and vulnerability scanner. You can then contribute to your first Rust security project or participate in your first bug bounty program. --> ## Community Hey! Welcome you to the Black Hat Rustaceans gang!

and so on …. I’ve tried BeatifulSoup with get_text() or just soup.text

def preprocess(text_all):
    soup = BeautifulSoup(text_all,"lxml")
    #text =soup.get_text() doesn't work
    text = ''.join(soup.text) #doesn't work either
    
    # fetch only alphabetic characters
    #text = re.sub("[^a-zA-Z]", " ", text)

    # split text into tokens to remove whitespaces
    tokens = text.split()

    return " ".join(tokens)

but it doesn’t work and I get only text within tags :

Answer

Instead of .text you could use .get_text() with parameters seperator and split and also replace the <!-- --> to get the comments, if needed:

html.replace('<!--','').replace('-->','')
soup = BeautifulSoup(html,'lxml')
' '.join(soup.get_text(' ', strip=True).split())

Example

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html='''<p align="center">
  <a href="https://kerkour.com/black-hat-rust" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Black Hat Rust logo" src="./black_hat_rust_cover.png" height="300" /></a>
