How to replace angle brackets for custom tags ?

[Nazarets Danylo]

I have input some like this

<p> Text for text, <custom>, <another/> 1>0 5<10 </p>

But replace brackets only for "1>0 5<10" and create <custom> with close slash.</custom>

Unless I'm missing something (Sourceforge does odd things with formatting) then I think thats a reasonable interpretation of the snippet. I presume what you get is something like this?

<p> Text for text, <custom/>, <another/> 1&gt;0 5&lt;10 </p>

no, I got some like this.

<p> Text for text, <custom><custom/>, <another><another/> 1&gt;0 5&lt;10 </p>

But, I fixed this using next code:

  HtmlCleaner cleaner = new HtmlCleaner();
        CleanerProperties props = cleaner.getProperties();
        props.setTreatUnknownTagsAsContent(true);
        props.setNamespacesAware(false);
        props.setOmitHtmlEnvelope(true);
        props.setOmitXmlDeclaration(false);
        TagNode node = cleaner.clean(input);
        String result = new CompactHtmlSerializer(props).getAsString(node);
        return result.replaceAll("<\\?xml.*\\?>", "");

As you can see, there is only one "not so good" thing here, and that is the xml tag

"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

at the beginning of the line. I simply remove it with replaceAll. Perhaps there are configurations to prevent this tag from appearing as well, but I haven't found it)

The open and close tags, rather than self-closing tags, are how HTML is typically serialised.

If you want to omit the XML tag, use props.setOmitXmlDeclaration(true);
