  4. Use the .select() method and pass the CSS attributes inside the function. e.g. - soup.select('div p')

Example:-

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as bs

# load the projectpro webpage content
r = requests.get('https://www.projectpro.io/')

# convert to beautiful soup
soup = bs(r.content)

# printing our web page
print(soup.prettify())

# paragraph inside the "div"
content = soup.select('div p')
