In some cases of HTML cleaning, I would like to retain the text enclosed between the tags(which is the default behaviour of Jsoup) and in some cases, I would like to remove the text as well as the HTML tags. Can someone please throw some light on how I can remove the text enclosed between the HTML tags using Jsoup?
The Cleaner will always drop tags and preserve text. If you need to drop elements (i.e. tags and text / nested elements), you can pre-parse the HTML, remove the elements using either remove() or empty(), then run the resulting through the cleaner.
For example:
String html = "Clean <div>Text dropped</div>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
doc.select("div").remove();
// if not removed, the cleaner will drop the <div> but leave the inner text
String clean = Jsoup.clean(doc.body().html(), Whitelist.basic());
1. String html = "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title></title></head><body><p>hello there</p></body></html>";
2. Document d = Jsoup.parse(html);
3. System.out.println(d);
4. System.out.println("************************************************");
5. d.getElementsByTag("p").remove();
6. System.out.println(d);
while you getting with Elements you getting some trouble you can do this action on Document d object. that will work accurate.
