When i am parsing a HTML file using jsoup, texts in multiple lines (with < br />) in the HTML file is presented as a single line without new lines(\n). How i can parse the multi line HTML document as multiline strings ??
I am using the method: Element.text()
Eg:
HTML contains C code which is properly displayed in multiple lines in HtMl file, but when i am taking the text data, all the data are presented in a single line without new line charactors.
Replace <br /> with something else and back, like this:
Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.ejemplo.html").get(); //Here included the <br>'s
String temp = doc.html().replace("<br />", "$$$"); //$$$ instead <br>
doc = Jsoup.parse(temp); //Parse again
String text = doc.body().text().replace("$$$", "\n").toString()); //example
//I get back the new lines (\n)
The text() method of Element (and TextNode) calls appendWhitespaceIfBr(...) which will replace every <br /> (or whitespace) with a blank. Unfortunately i see no mechanism for turning this off without working on the code.
But maybe you can try replacing all <br /> Tags with a new subclass of Node.
