Pretty HTML snippet output

I have an HTML fragment <div><p>text1</p></div><div><p>text1</p></div>

I want to do it something like this:

 <div> <p>text1</p> </div> <div> <p>text1</p> </div>

What would be the easiest way to do this? (I looked at transform and jsoup), but not sure if it would be really wise to use. Thanks!

jTidy can fit for this task - http://jtidy.sourceforge.net/howto.html

 public String prettyPrintHTML(String rawHTML) { Tidy tidy = new Tidy(); tidy.setXHTML(true); tidy.setIndentContent(true); tidy.setPrintBodyOnly(true); tidy.setTidyMark(false); // HTML to DOM Document htmlDOM = tidy.parseDOM(new ByteArrayInputStream(rawHTML.getBytes()), null); // Pretty Print OutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); tidy.pprint(htmlDOM, out); return out.toString(); }

You can use Jsoup , for example

 String html = "<div><p>text1</p></div><div><p>text1</p></div>"; Document doc = Jsoup.parseBodyFragment(html);

But it will turn your text into

 <html> <head></head> <body> .. </body> </html>

To get rid of this part, you can get the part from <body> as

 System.out.println(doc.body().html());

which prints

 <div> <p>text1</p> </div> <div> <p>text1</p> </div>

If you want to increase the indent, you can set it earlier

 doc.outputSettings().indentAmount(4);

now the result will look like

 <div> <p>text1</p> </div> <div> <p>text1</p> </div>

Many text editors have plugins or built-in functions for this.

BBEdit

Coda
