java.lang.Object

org.zkoss.zsoup.examples.HtmlToPlainText

public class HtmlToPlainText
extends Object

HTML to plain-text. This example program demonstrates the use of jsoup to convert HTML input to lightly-formatted plain-text. That is divergent from the general goal of jsoup's .text() methods, which is to get clean data from a scrape.

Note that this is a fairly simplistic formatter -- for real world use you'll want to embrace and extend.
