python-wordpress-xmlrpc: html content getting escaped

    I am using python-wordpress-xmlrpc to post content to a wordpress blog, the documentation is good except that it only shows trivial plain text content, as in

    `post.content = ‘This is a wonderful blog post about XML-RPC.’

    If I use HTML markup in content then the HTML tags get escaped (converted to “&lt ;” etc), and so do not display properly. Can anyone suggest a way to avoid this?

    The only previous question I can see on the topic is this one from five years ago, which seems restricted to a bug in a specific version of lxml (and which must be fixed in new versions of WordPress).

    Just figured it out tomslee.

    It’s three double quotes before and after your html code.

    Try the following.

    post.content = """
<all your html code here>
blah
blah
blah

"""
