Formatting HTML Output

Parameters#

Parameter	Detail
`boolean outline()`	Get if outline mode is enabled. Default is false. If enabled, the HTML output methods will consider all tags as block.
`Document.OutputSettings outline(boolean)`	Enable or disable HTML outline mode.

Remarks#

Jsoup 1.9.2 API

Display all elements as block

By default, Jsoup will display only block-level elements with a trailing line break. Inline elements are displayed without a line break.

Given a body fragment, with inline elements:

<select name="menu">
    <option value="foo">foo</option>
    <option value="bar">bar</option>
</select>

Printing with Jsoup:

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);

System.out.println(doc.html());

Results in:

<html>
 <head></head>
 <body>
  <select name="menu"> <option value="foo">foo</option> <option value="bar">bar</option> </select> 
 </body>
</html>

To display the output with each element treated as a block element, the outline option has to be enabled on the document’s OutputSettings.

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);

doc.outputSettings().outline(true);

System.out.println(doc.html());

Output

<html>
 <head></head>
 <body>
  <select name="menu"> 
   <option value="foo">foo</option> 
   <option value="bar">bar</option> 
  </select> 
 </body>
</html>
