Detailed Description

A generic stand-in for the value of a ``<meta>`` tag's ``charset``
attribute.

When Beautiful Soup parses the markup ``<meta charset="utf8">``, the
value of the ``charset`` attribute will become one of these objects.

If the document is later encoded to an encoding other than UTF-8, its
``<meta>`` tag will mention the new encoding instead of ``utf8``.

Member Function Documentation

substitute_encoding()

str bs4.element.CharsetMetaAttributeValue.substitute_encoding	(		self,
		_Encoding	eventual_encoding = "utf-8"
	)

When an HTML document is being encoded to a given encoding, the
value of a ``<meta>`` tag's ``charset`` becomes the name of
the encoding.

Reimplemented from bs4.element.AttributeValueWithCharsetSubstitution.
