To use rvest to format and clean the scraped data, you can use various functions from other R packages, such as stringr, tidyr, dplyr, lubridate, etc. For example, you can use stringr functions to remove whitespace, punctuation, or unwanted characters from the text; tidyr functions to reshape or separate the data into columns; dplyr functions to filter, group, or summarize the data; lubridate functions to parse or manipulate dates; etc.
