Ugly code needs to be replaced!

[namtacs]

WHAT THE HELL I WROTE:

desc = desc.replace("<br>", "\n")
desc = desc.replace("<b>", "")
desc = desc.replace("</b>", "")
desc = desc.replace("<i>", "")
desc = desc.replace("</i>", "")
desc = desc.replace("</span>", "")
desc = desc.replace("&nbsp;", " ")
desc = desc.replace("&lt;", "<")
desc = desc.replace("&gt;", ">")
desc = desc.replace("</div>", "")
desc = desc.replace("<li>", "•")
desc = desc.replace("</li>", "")
desc = desc.replace("<ul>", "")
desc = desc.replace("</ul>", "")
desc = desc.replace("&amp;", "&")
desc = desc.replace("<ol>", "")
desc = desc.replace("</ol>", "")
splited = desc.split("\n")
i = 0
for line in splited:
    line = del_tag(line, "<span")
    line = del_tag(line, "<div")
    line = del_tag(line, "<img")
    line = parse_urls(line)
    splited[i] = line
    i += 1
desc = "\n".join(splited)

WHY AM I EDITING HTML AS TEXT?????? I HAVE BS4!
