Parsing special characters to standard a-z

[Jonn Doe]

What I mean is where it would say this content taken from .... and its all in different char tables that look similar to standard a-z. This is so you can search for them easily and remove.

So, anyone knows of a way of 1. Locating all non standard chars easily without to much overhead and 2 converting them to standard chars all done via the wonderful BeautifulSoup? Anyone has to do this already?

Thanks

Hi jonn,

As a starting point, perhaps you could do a search for "converting Unicode to ASCII" and find a library that works the way that you want? Then you could iterate through all the NavigableString objects and apply that library's processing.
