how to use jsoup to tidy up the html

Question

I am using jsoup and it is really nice to tidy up some html, but I have a piece of invalid html as following:

<p>The recurrence, in close succession <ul><li>list item 1</li><li>list item 2</li></ul> second part of thisssss

What I want to get is :

<p>The recurrence, in close succession </p><ul><li>list item 1</li><li>list item 2</li></ul> <p>second part of thisssss</p>

So is the jsoup capable of tidying up the html and return this output ?

thanks

Answer 1

Yes, try this:

String html = "<p>The recurrence, in close succession <ul><li>list item 1</li><li>list item 2</li></ul> second part of thisssss";
String clean = Jsoup.clean(html, Whitelist.relaxed());

You can use another Whitelist as well.
