I am attempting to parse a wiktionary entry to retrieve all english
definitions. I am able to retrive all definitions, the problem is
that some definitions are in other languages. What I would like to do
is somehow retrieve only the html block with english definitions. I
have found that, in the case that there are other language entries,
the header after the english definitions can be retrieved with: header
= (doc/“h2”)[3]. So I would like to only search all the elements
before this header element. I thought that may be possible with
header.preceding_siblings(), but that does not seem to be working.
Any suggestions?
Just in case anyone runs into this: I created my own recursive
function that starts at the end element and checks each previous
element and adds it to an array for a match.
