Extracting text between <p> tags, jsoup

Question

Given this HTML:

<html> 
   <head></head>
   <body>
      <p>
        "Text"
        <br>
        "Some more Text"
        <br> 
        "Even more text"
        </p>
  </body>
</html>

I'm trying to get the text inside the <p> tags with §Element description = document.select(______)`. How can I get this text? I was able to do it with a page that didn't have a body but I'm not sure how to get past the body tags. Thanks.

Yo can use the selector: p to extract all <p> elements and use the element accessor: text() to read the text from within each <p> element.

Here's an example using the HTML provided in your question:

@Test
public void canGetTextFromAPElement() {
    String html = "<html> \n" +
            "   <head></head>\n" +
            "   <body>\n" +
            "      <p>\n" +
            "        \"Text\"\n" +
            "        <br>\n" +
            "        \"Some more Text\"\n" +
            "        <br> \n" +
            "        \"Even more text\"\n" +
            "        </p>\n" +
            "  </body>\n" +
            "</html>";

    Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);

    Elements elements = doc.select("p");

    assertThat(elements.size(), is(1));
    assertThat(elements.get(0).text(), is("\"Text\" \"Some more Text\" \"Even more text\""));
}
