Get encoded html content only from url in java

Question

Is there a library in JAVA where I can encode HTML, but only content?

I have like

<div>Tél</div>

and I only want

<div>T&eacute;l</div>

instead of

&lt;div&gt;T&eacute;l<&lt;/div&gt;

I need this library to encode an entire HTML. I have tried library JSoup but it has bugs when handling some objects.

Thanks

Why do you want to convert characters into their HTML entities in the first place? If you're using UTF-8, that should never be necessary. — Pekka, Mar 29 '11 at 17:24

It's never a good idea to parse HTML using regex, that's a recipe for disaster.

So first look at this Q&A for HTML parsing in java: Java HTML Parsing

Once you are able to parse HTML and get internal HTML text then you can encode HTML in one of the these ways: Is there a JDK class to do HTML encoding (but not URL encoding)?
