There are a number of resources to parse HTML pages and extract textual content. Jsoup is an example. In my case, I would like to extract the textual content tagged with the html tags under which each sentence occurs. For example, take this page

<html>
<head><title>Test Page</title>
<body>
<h1>This is a test page</h1>
<p> The goal is to extract <b>textual content <em> with html tags</em> </b> from html pages.
</body>
</html>

I’m expecting the output to be like this:

<h1>This is a test page</h1>
<p> The goal is to extract <b>textual content <em> with html tags</em> </b> from html pages.

In other words, I want to include specific html tags within the textual content of the page.

    To get your result you can use this:

    final String html = "<html>"
        + "<head><title>Test Page</title>"
        + "<body>"
        + "<h1>This is a test page</h1>"
        + "<p> The goal is to extract <b>textual content <em> with html tags</em> </b> from html pages."
        + "</body>"
        + "</html>";

// Parse the String into a Jsoup Document
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Elements body = doc.body().children();

// Do further things here ...
System.out.println(body);

    Instead of the String html you can load a file or a website too – jsoup provides this all.

    In this example body contains the html you posted as result.

    Or do you need to select something like “h1 followed by p tag”?

    However you may take a look at the Jsoup Selector API
