Method Detail

toPlainTextString

public String toPlainTextString()

Description copied from interface: Node

Returns a string representation of the node. This is an important method, it allows a simple string transformation of a web page, regardless of a node.
Typical application code (for extracting only the text from a web page) would then be simplified to :

 Node node;
 for (Enumeration e = parser.elements();e.hasMoreElements();) {
    node = (Node)e.nextElement();
    System.out.println(node.toPlainTextString()); // Or do whatever processing you wish with the plain text string
 }
