Return Line Breaks from Jsoup.parse

Question

I'm attempting to parse out the html tags from a Java string and that is working fine using the below Jsoup parse method. The only thing is that when I call the .text method it removes the line breaks ("\\n") tags. I want to keep those but still have the method return a String, any ideas?

 private static String stripHTML(String html) {
     return Jsoup.parse(html).text();
 }

Newlines aren't any different from spaces (or consecutive spaces or tabs) in HTML. What you pull out won't have any semantic meaning. <p> and <br />, on the other hand...
