The article explains how to uncomment lines in an XML file using Python's xml module. It describes initial attempts to search for solutions online, highlighting that the typical code found may not work as expected. With insight gained from StackOverflow, it details the creation of a custom XML parser that enables handling comments effectively. A key takeaway is the necessity to set the insert_comments argument to True within the XMLParser for the solution to function correctly. Further modifications are suggested for reusing commented text as valid elements.
The key point here is to create an instance of ET.XMLParser and set insert_comments to True. Then the code will work.
Unfortunately, this code does not work. But it is close.
If you look through StackOverflow and similar forums, you will discover that you need a custom parser.
This example just prints out the commented text. You would need to do something to grab the commented text and reinsert it as a valid XML element.
