[jdom-interest] Simple xhtml/entity resolver?

[Olivier Jaquemet]

Hi Oliver,

JDom is a great tool for parsing XML...

... but for XHTML fragment (which may not be completely XHTML compliant 
... ?)
and specially for text extraction, I would strongly suggest JSoup 
http://jsoup.org/

   String text = org.jsoup.Jsoup.parse(html).text();

Whatever is your html it will work like a charm (even it is an ugly copy 
paste wysiwyg from word or any ugly html export from whatever website)
