I really don't think you want use split here. I think you want to use something like

// Extract a given tag value from an input txt.
public static String extractTagValue(String txt,
    String tag) {
  if (tag == null || txt == null) {
    return "";
  }
  String lcText = txt.toLowerCase();
  tag = tag.trim().toLowerCase();
  String openTag = "<" + tag + ">";
  String closeTag = "";
  int pos1 = lcText.indexOf(openTag);
  if (pos1 > -1) {
    pos1 += openTag.length();
    int pos2 = lcText.indexOf(closeTag, pos1 + 1);
    if (pos2 > -1) {
      return txt.substring(pos1, pos2);
    }
  }
  return "";
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
  String example = "
World
";
  String section = extractTagValue(example,
      "section");
  String title = extractTagValue(example, "title");

  System.out.printf("%s, %s\n", title, section);
}

Which, when executed, outputs

Hello, World
