modify style tag python css beautifulsoup

Given:

<html>
<style>
@font-face
{font-family:"MS Mincho"}
</style>
</html>

How could I add @font-face {font-family:"MS Gothic"} to this style tag? I'm using Beautiful soup 4 and the following code to select the style, but unsure how to add the new style after the first:

code = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')
s = code.select('style')

To add a new tag to the HTML, you can use the .append() method:

You can add to a tag’s contents with Tag.append(). It works just like calling .append() on a Python list.

In your example:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

html = """
<html>
<style>
@font-face
{font-family:"MS Mincho"}
</style>
</html>
"""
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, "html.parser")
soup.select_one("style").append('@font-face\n{font-family:"MS Gothic"}')

print(soup)
