Jsoup select text WITH including html tags

Question

I use Jsoup to select some code between <td></td> tags. It looks like this:

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(response, "UTF-8");

Element elMotD = doc.select("td.info").first();
String motdText = elMotD.text();

My problem now is that jsoup selects the text like I want but it simply sorts out tags like <br> which are important for my displaying in Android TextView later.

How can I do this that Jsoup doesn't miss the tags in between this text?

See here: http://jsoup.org/cookbook/extracting-data/attributes-text-html

Use the Element.html() method to get to the html including its inner html tags. You can also use Node.outerHtml() to the the html including the outer tags.

In your case:

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(response, "UTF-8");

Element elMotD = doc.select("td.info").first();
String motdHtml = elMotD.html();
