You probably want to use BeautifulSoup to get the paragraphs, then
normal Python string handling to get the first three words of each
one. Something like (untested - and using a filter rather than a tag):
@register.filter
def boldify(text):
parsed_text = BeautifulSoup.BeautifulSoup(text)
for p in parsed_text.findChildren('p'):
text = p.string.split(' ')
replacetext = '<p><b> + ' '.join(text[:3]) + '</b>' + ' '.join
(text[3:]) + '</p>'
p.replaceWith(replacetext)
return parsed_text.renderContents()
