he raw tag text itself, or to revert separate tokens with intervening whitespace back to the original matching input text. By default, returns a string containing the original parsed text. If the optional ``as_string`` argument is passed as ``False``, then the return value is a :class:`ParseResults` containing any results names that were originally matched, and a single token containing the original matched text from the input string. So if the expression passed to :class:`original_text_for` contains expressions with defined results names, you must set ``as_string`` to ``False`` if you want to preserve those results name values. The ``asString`` pre-PEP8 argument is retained for compatibility, but will be removed in a future release. Example:: src = "this is test bold text normal text " for tag in ("b", "i"): opener, closer = make_html_tags(tag) patt = original_text_for(opener + ... + closer) print(patt.search_string(src)[0]) prints:: [' bold text '] ['text'] c
