Line changes to a string from html

Question

I have to create a pdf by using itextpdf api. I also have jsoup api in the project. I've managed to create a pdf meeting all the requirements for it except one thing. One column of cells in the pdf have to get their content text from the web-application UI from html-content. So, I get all the tags and all with them to the pdf. Like this:

Now I found a way to get rid of the tags by using Jsoup.parse(cellContentText).text();

However, there's no line changes or anything now. Would it be possible to get some of the html formatting to show in the pdf? If so, how?

Answer 1

I dont know the Jsoup API from my head, but maybe something like

List<String> lines = new ArrayList<String>();
for(Element e: Jsoup.parse(html).findAll('li')){
  lines.add(e.text())
}

And then add the lines of text to the pdf one by one.
