Extract text between two (different) HTML tags using jsoup

I want to get the names of all those links from between the two h2 tags there

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="People">People</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bush&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: People">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="/wiki/George_H._W._Bush" title="George H. W. Bush">George H. W. Bush</a> (born 1924), the 41st president of the United States of America</li>
<li><a href="/wiki/George_W._Bush" title="George W. Bush">George W. Bush</a> (born 1946), the 43rd president of the United States of America</li>
<li><a href="/wiki/Jeb_Bush" title="Jeb Bush">Jeb Bush</a> (born 1953), the former governor of Florida and also a member of the Bush family</li>
<li><a href="/wiki/Bush_family" title="Bush family">Bush family</a>, the political family that includes both presidents</li>
<li><a href="/wiki/Bush_(surname)" title="Bush (surname)">Bush (surname)</a>, a surname (including a list of people with the name)    </li>
</ul>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Places.2C_United_States">Places, United States</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Bush&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Places, United States">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2>

neither this

Elements h2next = docx.select("span.mw-headline#People");
    do 
    {
     ul = h2next.select("ul").first();
     System.out.println(ul.text());
    } 
    while (h2next!=null && ul==null);

nor

//String content = docx.getElementById("People").outerHtml();

I tried this:

Document docx = Jsoup.connect("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bush").get();
Element contentDiv = docx.select("span#mw-headlinePeople").first();
String printMe = contentDiv.toString(); // The result

Since I noticed that the data I want lives in a partition named:

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="People">

For example:

String html = "
An <a href='http://example.com/'>example</a> link.
";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse(html);
Element link = doc.select("a").first();

String text = doc.body().text(); // "An example link"
String linkHref = link.attr("href"); // "http://example.com/"
String linkText = link.text(); // "example""

String linkOuterH = link.outerHtml(); 
    // "<a href="http://example.com">example</a>"
String linkInnerH = link.html(); // "example"

If you select both with one selector by combining them with a ,, they will be in the order they appear on the page. Therefore you can keep track of whether you are in a "People section" or not while looping through the results like this:

Elements elements = docx.select("span.mw-headline, li > a");

boolean inPeopleSection = false;
for (Element elem : elements) {
    if (elem.className().equals("mw-headline")) {
        // It's a headline
        inPeopleSection = elem.id().equals("People");
    } else {
        // It's a link
        if (inPeopleSection) {
            System.out.println(elem.text());
        }
    }
}

Output:

George H. W. Bush
George W. Bush
Jeb Bush
Bush family
Bush (surname)

A simple selector would be h2:contains(people) + ul a, e.g.:

Elements els = doc.select("h2:contains(people) + ul a");

Which gives these elements:

0 <a href="/wiki/George_H._W._Bush" title="George H. W. Bush">
George H. W. Bush
1 <a href="/wiki/George_W._Bush" title="George W. Bush">
George W. Bush
2 <a href="/wiki/Jeb_Bush" title="Jeb Bush">
Jeb Bush
3 <a href="/wiki/Bush_family" title="Bush family">
Bush family
4 <a href="/wiki/Bush_(surname)" title="Bush (surname)">
Bush (surname)

I have the following HTML...

<h3 class="number">
<span class="navigation">
6:55 <a href="/results/result.html" class="under">»</a>
</span>**This is the text I need to parse!**</h3>

I can use the following code to extract the text from h3 tag.

Element h3 = doc.select("h3").get(0);

Unfortunately, that gives me everything in that tag.

6:55 » This is the text I need to parse!

Try this:

Element h3 = doc.select("h3").get(0);
String h3Text = h3.text();
String spanText = h3.select("span").get(0).text();
String textBetweenSpanEndAndH3End = h3Text.replace(spanText, "");
