HTML Generator

Updated Oct 28, 2019 ·

Problem

You want to generate HTML dynamically using a Python script.

So far, you’ve created two decorators that wrap a function’s return value with bold and italic HTML tags. However, both decorators follow almost the same structure.

def bold(func):
  @wraps(func)
  def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
    msg = func(*args, **kwargs)
    return '<b>{}</b>'.format(msg)
  return wrapper

def italics(func):
  @wraps(func)
  def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
    msg = func(*args, **kwargs)
    return '<i>{}</i>'.format(msg)
  return wrapper 

Instead of repeating similar code for every HTML tag, use a single decorator that can accept any pair of opening and closing tags.

Solution

Create a reusable decorator, html(), that takes HTML tags as parameters and applies them to the function output.
