Description

Right now I'm just excluding any articles with HTML tags (explicitly, the ">") character in the headline or lede. But I can pretty much guarantee that there are libraries that implement HTML handling (beautifulsoup?) that I could be leveraging to do this smarter (and thus with fewer Guardian API calls).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to use BeautifulSoup to strip HTML tags from the lede and headline strings, and integrate it into the existing codebase.
