        Returns:
        whitelist
      • basicWithImages

        whitelist
      • addTags

        public Whitelist addTags​(java.lang.String... tags)
        Add a list of allowed elements to a whitelist. (If a tag is not allowed, it will be removed from the HTML.)

        tags - tag names to allow
        Returns:
        this (for chaining)
      • removeTags

        public Whitelist removeTags​(java.lang.String... tags)

        tags - tag names to disallow
        Returns:
        this (for chaining)
      • addAttributes

        public Whitelist addAttributes​(java.lang.String tag,
                                       java.lang.String... attributes)
        Add a list of allowed attributes to a tag. (If an attribute is not allowed on an element, it will be removed.)

        E.g.: addAttributes("a", "href", "class") allows href and class attributes on a tags.

        To make an attribute valid for all tags, use the pseudo tag :all, e.g. addAttributes(":all", "class").

        Parameters:
        tag - The tag the attributes are for. The tag will be added to the allowed tag list if necessary.
        attributes - List of valid attributes for the tag
        Returns:
        this (for chaining)
      • removeAttributes

        public Whitelist removeAttributes​(java.lang.String tag,
                                          java.lang.String... attributes)
        Remove a list of allowed attributes from a tag. (If an attribute is not allowed on an element, it will be removed.)

        E.g.: removeAttributes("a", "href", "class") disallows href and class attributes on a tags.

        To make an attribute invalid for all tags, use the pseudo tag :all, e.g. removeAttributes(":all", "class").

        Parameters:
        tag - The tag the attributes are for.
        attributes - List of invalid attributes for the tag
        Returns:
        this (for chaining)
      • addEnforcedAttribute

        public Whitelist addEnforcedAttribute​(java.lang.String tag,
                                              java.lang.String attribute,
                                              java.lang.String value)
        Add an enforced attribute to a tag. An enforced attribute will always be added to the element. If the element already has the attribute set, it will be overridden with this value.

        E.g.: addEnforcedAttribute("a", "rel", "nofollow") will make all a tags output as <a href="..." rel="nofollow">

        Parameters:
        tag - The tag the enforced attribute is for. The tag will be added to the allowed tag list if necessary.
        attribute - The attribute name
        value - The enforced attribute value
        Returns:
        this (for chaining)
      • removeEnforcedAttribute

        public Whitelist removeEnforcedAttribute​(java.lang.String tag,
                                                 java.lang.String attribute)
        Remove a previously configured enforced attribute from a tag.
        Parameters:
        tag - The tag the enforced attribute is for.
        attribute - The attribute name
        Returns:
        this (for chaining)
      • preserveRelativeLinks

        public Whitelist preserveRelativeLinks​(boolean preserve)
        Configure this Whitelist to preserve relative links in an element's URL attribute, or convert them to absolute links. By default, this is false: URLs will be made absolute (e.g. start with an allowed protocol, like e.g. http://.

        Note that when handling relative links, the input document must have an appropriate base URI set when parsing, so that the link's protocol can be confirmed. Regardless of the setting of the preserve relative links option, the link must be resolvable against the base URI to an allowed protocol; otherwise the attribute will be removed.

        Parameters:
        preserve - true to allow relative links, false (default) to deny
        Returns:
        this Whitelist, for chaining.

      • addProtocols

        public Whitelist addProtocols​(java.lang.String tag,

        Add allowed URL protocols for an element's URL attribute. This restricts the possible values of the attribute to URLs with the defined protocol.

        E.g.: addProtocols("a", "href", "ftp", "http", "https")

        To allow a link to an in-page URL anchor (i.e. <a href="#anchor">, add a #:
        E.g.: addProtocols("a", "href", "#")

        Parameters:
        tag - Tag the URL protocol is for
        attribute - Attribute name
        protocols - List of valid protocols

        tag - Tag the URL protocol is for
        attribute - Attribute name
