<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="The_battle">The battle</span></h2>
<div class="thumb tright"></h2>
<p>text I want</p>
<p>text I want</p>
<p>text I want</p>
<p>text I want</p>
<h2>Second Title I want to stop collecting p tags after</h2>
I am learning Jsoup by trying to scrap all the p tags, arranged by title from wikipedia site. I can scrap all the p tags between h2, from the help of this question:
extract unidentified html content from between two tags, using jsoup? regex?
by using
JavaScript
Elements elements = docx.select("span.mw-headline, h2 ~ p");
but I can’t scrap it when there is a <div>
between them. Here is the wikipedia site I am working on:
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hastings
How can I grab all the p tags where they are between two specific h2 tags?
Preferably ordered by id.

Answer
Try this option : Elements elements = doc.select(“span.mw-headline, h2 ~ div, h2 ~ p”);
sample code :
JavaScript
package jsoupex;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.helper.Validate;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
import org.jsoup.select.Elements;
import java.io.IOException;
/**
* Example program to list links from a URL.
*/
public class stackoverflw {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
//Validate.isTrue(args.length == 1, "usage: supply url to fetch");
//String url = "http://localhost/stov_wiki.html";
String url = "https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hastings ";
//args[0];
System.out.println("Fetching %s..." + url);
Document doc = Jsoup.connect(url).get();
Elements elements = doc.select("span.mw-headline, h2 ~ div, h2 ~ p");
for (Element elem : elements) {
if ( elem.hasClass("mw-headline")) {
System.out.println("************************");
}
System.out.println(elem.text());
if ( elem.hasClass("mw-headline")) {
System.out.println("************************");
} else {
System.out.println("");
}
}
}
}
