How do I preserve line breaks when using jsoup to

I have the following code:

 public class NewClass {
     public String noTags(String str){
         return Jsoup.parse(str).text();
     }


     public static void main(String args[]) {
         String strings="<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN \">" +
         "<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE></TITLE> <style>body{ font-size: 12px;font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}</style> </HEAD> <BODY><p><b>hello world</b></p><p><br><b>yo</b> <a href=\"http://google.com\">googlez</a></p></BODY> </HTML> ";

         NewClass text = new NewClass();
         System.out.println((text.noTags(strings)));
}

And I have the result:

hello world yo googlez

But I want to break the line:

hello world
yo googlez

I have looked at jsoup's TextNode#getWholeText() but I can't figure out how to use it.

If there's a <br> in the markup I parse, how can I get a line break in my resulting output?

Based on the other answers and the comments on this question it seems that most people coming here are really looking for a general solution that will provide a nicely formatted plain text representation of an HTML document. I know I was.

Fortunately JSoup already provide a pretty comprehensive example of how to achieve this: HtmlToPlainText.java

The example FormattingVisitor can easily be tweaked to your preference and deals with most block elements and line wrapping.

To avoid link rot, here is Jonathan Hedley's solution in full:

package org.jsoup.examples;

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.helper.StringUtil;
import org.jsoup.helper.Validate;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Node;
import org.jsoup.nodes.TextNode;
import org.jsoup.select.Elements;
import org.jsoup.select.NodeTraversor;
import org.jsoup.select.NodeVisitor;

import java.io.IOException;

/**
 * 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.
 * <p>
 * Note that this is a fairly simplistic formatter -- for real world use you'll want to embrace and extend.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * To invoke from the command line, assuming you've downloaded the jsoup jar to your current directory:</p>
 * <p><code>java -cp jsoup.jar org.jsoup.examples.HtmlToPlainText url [selector]</code></p>
 * where <i>url</i> is the URL to fetch, and <i>selector</i> is an optional CSS selector.
 *

public class HtmlToPlainText {
    private static final String userAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (jsoup)";

        Validate.isTrue(args.length == 1 || args.length == 2, "usage: java -cp jsoup.jar org.jsoup.examples.HtmlToPlainText url [selector]");
        final String url = args[0];
        final String selector = args.length == 2 ? args[1] : null;

        // fetch the specified URL and parse to a HTML DOM

You can traverse a given element

public String convertNodeToText(Element element)
{
    final StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();

    new NodeTraversor(new NodeVisitor() {
        boolean isNewline = true;

        @Override
        public void head(Node node, int depth) {
            if (node instanceof TextNode) {
                TextNode textNode = (TextNode) node;
                String text = textNode.text().replace('\u00A0', ' ').trim();                    
                if(!text.isEmpty())
                {                        
                    buffer.append(text);
                    isNewline = false;
                }
            } else if (node instanceof Element) {
                Element element = (Element) node;
                if (!isNewline)
                {
                    if((element.isBlock() || element.tagName().equals("br")))
                    {
                        buffer.append("\n");
                        isNewline = true;
                    }
                }
            }                
        }

        @Override
        public void tail(Node node, int depth) {                
        }                        
    }).traverse(element);        

    return buffer.toString();               
}

And for your code

String result = convertNodeToText(JSoup.parse(html))

Try this by using jsoup:

public static String cleanPreserveLineBreaks(String bodyHtml) {

    // get pretty printed html with preserved br and p tags
    String prettyPrintedBodyFragment = Jsoup.clean(bodyHtml, "", Whitelist.none().addTags("br", "p"), new OutputSettings().prettyPrint(true));
    // get plain text with preserved line breaks by disabled prettyPrint
    return Jsoup.clean(prettyPrintedBodyFragment, "", Whitelist.none(), new OutputSettings().prettyPrint(false));
}

This is my version of translating html to text (the modified version of user121196 answer, actually).

This doesn't just preserve line breaks, but also formatting text and removing excessive line breaks, HTML escape symbols, and you will get a much better result from your HTML (in my case I'm receiving it from mail).

It's originally written in Scala, but you can change it to Java easily

def html2text( rawHtml : String ) : String = {

    val htmlDoc = Jsoup.parseBodyFragment( rawHtml, "/" )
    htmlDoc.select("br").append("\\nl")
    htmlDoc.select("div").append("\\nl")
    htmlDoc.select("p").prepend("\\nl\\nl")
    htmlDoc.select("p").append("\\nl\\nl")

    org.jsoup.parser.Parser.unescapeEntities(
        Jsoup.clean(
          htmlDoc.html(),
          "",
          Whitelist.none(),
          new org.jsoup.nodes.Document.OutputSettings().prettyPrint(true)
        ),false
    ).
    replaceAll("\\\\nl", "\n").
    replaceAll("\r","").
    replaceAll("\n\\s+\n","\n").
    replaceAll("\n\n+","\n\n").     
    trim()      
}

Try this:

public String noTags(String str){
    Document d = Jsoup.parse(str);
    TextNode tn = new TextNode(d.body().html(), "");
    return tn.getWholeText();
}

The real solution that preserves linebreaks should be like this:

public static String br2nl(String html) {
    if(html==null)
        return html;
    Document document = Jsoup.parse(html);
    document.outputSettings(new Document.OutputSettings().prettyPrint(false));//makes html() preserve linebreaks and spacing
    document.select("br").append("\\n");
    document.select("p").prepend("\\n\\n");
    String s = document.html().replaceAll("\\\\n", "\n");
    return Jsoup.clean(s, "", Whitelist.none(), new Document.OutputSettings().prettyPrint(false));
}

It satisfies the following requirements:

if the original html contains newline(\n), it gets preserved
if the original html contains br or p tags, they gets translated to newline(\n).
