I'm still not quite sure what you really want to do. You should not need to
parse text or do substring operations. The dom4j Element will contain a tree
of Node implementations which in your case will probably be a mixture of
Element, Text and CDATA nodes. So you should just be able to use regular
Java 2 Collections code and use 'instanceof' to determine which nodes you
want to process and which you don't.
When you say...
> What I want to do is parse the contents of "body" into the component
paragraph, highlighted text and regular text parts
you could just iterate over the contents of <body> and process things
however you wish...
Element body = (Element) doc.selectSingleNode( "/doc/body" );
List content = body.content();
for (Iterator iter = content.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Node child = (Node) iter.next();
if ( child instanceof Element ) {
... process this element, could be a <b> or <p> etc.
}
else if ( child instanceof Text ) {
.. its a block of text...
}
}
