I’m trying to extract Latex code that’s embedded in webpage HTML.
If we take take the string:

string = ‘<math xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML” display=”block”><semantics><mrow><mtext> </mtext><mfrac><mrow><mi>a</mi><mi>x</mi><mo>+</mo><mi>b</mi></mrow><mi>c</mi></mfrac><mo>=</mo><mi>d</mi></mrow><annotation encoding=”application/x-tex”> frac{ax+b}{c}=d</annotation></semantics></math>’

I want just the ” frac{ax+b}{c}=d”

When I ran the code:

match = re.search(r’x-tex”>.*</an’,string)

print(str(match.group(0)) )

I got a match of x-tex”> rac{ax+b}{c}=d</an

It omitted the f character from the match string.

Does anyone have an idea of how I can include it in the match?
