Html Agility Pack - Remove element, but not innerHtml

Question

I can easily remove the element just by note.Remove() lik this:

HtmlDocument html = new HtmlDocument();

html.Load(Server.MapPath(@"~\Site\themes\default\index.cshtml"));

foreach (var item in html.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//removeMe"))
{
    item.Remove();
}

But that removes the innerHtml as well. What if i only want to remove the tag, and keep the innerHtml?

Example:

<ul>
    <removeMe>
        <li>
            <a href="#">Keep me</a>
        </li>
    </removeMe>
</ul>

Any help would be appreciated :)

Answer 1

HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml(html);

var node = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//removeme");
node.ParentNode.RemoveChild(node, true);

Answer 2

This should work:

foreach (var item in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//removeMe"))
{
    if (item.PreviousSibling == null)
    {
        //First element -> so add it at beginning of the parent's innerhtml
        item.ParentNode.InnerHtml = item.InnerHtml + item.ParentNode.InnerHtml;
    }
    else
    {
        //There is an element before itemToRemove -> add the innerhtml after the previous item
        foreach(HtmlNode node in item.ChildNodes){
            item.PreviousSibling.ParentNode.InsertAfter(node, item.PreviousSibling);
        }
    }
    item.Remove();
}
