Why doesn't bleach.clean() insert newlines between <th> (table) items?

[Alekky09]

Say you got input like:

content = '''
    <div>
        <table class="table">
            <thead>
                <tr class="table-head">
                    <th scope="col">Text 1</th>
                    <th scope="col">Text 2</th>
                    <th scope="col">Text 3</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <th scope="row">Text 4</th>
                    <td>123</td><td>345</td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>
 '''

cleaned = bleach.clean(content, strip=True, attributes=bleach.ALLOWED_ATTRIBUTES, tags=bleach.ALLOWED_TAGS)

Output:

Text 1Text 2Text 3Text 4123345

Also, is it possible to just insert whitespaces instead of the escaped tag?

Bleach clean replaces tags with newline if they're block-level elements. th isn't a block-level element.

You can choose to either strip the tag or escape it--there aren't other options.
