Get visible text of page

java, selenium-webdriver

Solution

Doing `By.tagName("body")` (or some other selector to select the top element), then performing `getText()` on that element will return all of the visible text.

Problem

How do I get the visible text portion of a web page with selenium webdriver without the HTML tags? I need something equivalent to the function HtmlPage.asText() from Htmlunit. It is not enough to take the text with the function WebDriver.getSource and parse it with jsoup because there could be in the page hidden elements (by external CSS) which I am not interested in them.
