This example leverages python-lolhtml to delete potentially dangerous elements and attributes.

We assume that only elements within a `main` tag could be dangerous. Further, we forbid tags besides `p` and `span`,

which are common in blog posts. However, these tags could still contain malicious content, such as hidden text,

Notice how the otherwise hidden message is revealed by removing the `style` tag whereas our known-good footer text's

style is preserved. Additionally, the `script` tag is removed and its inner text is retained.

While this example loads all the content into the rewriter at once with one singular read, python-lolhtml also supports
1312
streaming content and writing in chunks.
