jsoup line feed

Question

We\'re using Jsoup.clean(String, Whitelist) to process some input, and it appears that Jsoup is adding an extraneous line break just prior to acceptable tags. I\'ve seen a f

Answer 1

Addendum:

I just downloaded Jsoup 1.7.1, in this version it's possible to use clean()-method with custom OutputSettings:

String html = "This is a line with <b>bold text</b> within it.";

OutputSettings settings = new OutputSettings();
settings.prettyPrint(false);

String clean = Jsoup.clean(html, "", Whitelist.relaxed(), settings);

Or shorter:

String clean = Jsoup.clean(html, "", Whitelist.relaxed(), new OutputSettings().prettyPrint(false));

(In fact its the same solution like posted in the comments)

Answer 2

Hmm... have not seen any options for this.

If you parse the html in Document you have some output settings:

Document doc = Jsoup.parseBodyFragment(htmlToClean);
doc.outputSettings().prettyPrint(false);

System.out.println(doc.body().html());

With prettyPrint off you'll get the following output: This is a line with <b>bold text</b> within it.

Maybe you can write your own clean() method, since the implemented one useses Document's (there' you can disable prettyPrint):

Orginal methods:

public static String clean(String bodyHtml, Whitelist whitelist) {
    return clean(bodyHtml, "", whitelist);
}

public static String clean(String bodyHtml, String baseUri, Whitelist whitelist) {
    Document dirty = parseBodyFragment(bodyHtml, baseUri);
    Cleaner cleaner = new Cleaner(whitelist);
    Document clean = cleaner.clean(dirty);
    return clean.body().html();
}
