JavaFX HTMLEditor: HTML to plain text

Question

I know that you can use HTMLEditor.getHTMLText(); to convert text to HTML, I was just wondering if you can convert the HTML text back to plain text .

Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

What you need is to remove all the HTML tags from the HTML String returned by getHtmlText .

You can implement a method, or better, you can use for example JSoup to do the job for you:

Jsoup.parse(htmlText).text();

Example

HTMLEditor editor = new HTMLEditor();
Button b = new Button("Get Text");
b.setOnAction(e -> System.out.println(Jsoup.parse(editor.getHtmlText()).text()));
