How to select text in HTML tag without a tag around it (JSoup)

Question

I would like to select the text inside the strong-tag but without the div under it...

Is there a possibility to do this with jsoup directly?

My try for the selection (doesn't work, selects the full content inside the strong-tag):

Elements selection = htmlDocument.select("strong").select("*:not(.dontwantthatclass)");

HTML:

<strong>
   I want that text
   <div class="dontwantthatclass">
   </div>
</strong>

You are looking for the ownText() method.

String txt = htmlDocument.select("strong").first().ownText();
