Java library for CSS cleanup

Question

For a rich text editor that has to handle pasted HTML code from MS Office applications, I'm looking for a Java library that cleans up the content of all "style" attributes in HTML elements, so that only some CSS attributes are left:

• background-color
• border
• color
• font-family
• font-weight
• font-style
• list-style-type
• text-align
• text-decoration
• vertical-align

For creating a well-formed HTML document, I can use JTidy. For HTML element transformations (removing unwanted elements), I can use http://htmlparser.sourceforge.net/

Is there anything comparable for CSS attributes?

Answer 1

Try using a some CSS parser (like http://cssparser.sourceforge.net/) and SAC.
