Introduce a template parameter like e.g. 'beautifulsoup=True' to switch to mode where all tag become:

<!--SUBSTER-BS:html.head.title.contents--><!--SUBSTER-BS:html.head.title.contents-->

and their content get replaced with the data retrieved from:

eval("BeautifulSoup().html.head.title.contents")

which means the text after 'BS:' gets executed as python code (more or less). Attention for violent code intrusion... ![][1]

Simple code intrusion with ';' is not possible as it seams (which is good):

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "test.py", line 774, in <module>
print eval('BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(a).%s' % item[1])
File "<string>", line 1
BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(a).body; print 'hallo'
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

But there are some points to consider, though: http://lybniz2.sourceforge.net/safeeval.html

As mentioned: code done in r129.

The feature is not documented yet because in testing stage only. If it works well, it has to be documented and included into 'substersim.py'.
