Omit links, ads, etc. from jsoup parse

Question

I am using jsoup to scrape different html pages: ``` public class HtmlParse { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { String site = args[0]; Document doc = Jsoup.connect(site).get(); String htm = doc.body().text(); System.out.println(htm); } } ``` It works beautifully. However, there seems to be a lot of fluff associated with its returns (ie: website links [a href]). Is there a quick way to omit this in jsoup? I found the getElementsByTag literature but am having a hard time using it. Thank you in advance.

Accepted Answer

You can "clean" parsed Document, see example. For exammple, to left only simple text:

```
Whitelist whitelist = Whitelist.simpleText();
String result = Jsoup.clean(doc.html(), whitelist);
```

Or, you can simple delete all `a` tags:

```
doc.select("a").remove();
```
