Detailed Description

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

When Beautiful Soup parses the markup:
 ``<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf8">``

The value of the ``content`` 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.ContentMetaAttributeValue.substitute_encoding	(		self,
		_Encoding	eventual_encoding = "utf-8"
	)

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

Reimplemented from bs4.element.AttributeValueWithCharsetSubstitution.
