Html.fromHtml(string ) is not parsing P tag in android

Question

I need to get the body from the following file. When I use Html.fromHtml(string), then I am getting the body + some unformatted data as

P {
    MARGIN-TOP: 0px;
    MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px 
}

<P/> tag will not work with Html.fromHtml(string ). Why?

Where did the raw data come from? Can you check it and paste it here — Lawrence Gimenez

Here commonsware says that P tag is supported. Supported TAGS by HTML.fromHtml() - Blog

For example you should use it in a string like this

<string name="htmlFormattedText">
          <![CDATA[
          <p>Text with markup for <strong>bold</strong>
          and <em>italic</em> text.</p>
          <p>There is also support for a
          <tt>teletype-style</tt> font.
          But no use for the <code>code</code>
          tag!</p>
          ]]></string>

but in my html file P tag is like follows. <style id="owaParaStyle">P { MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px } P is not as a tag.is this creating problem?

The list already says that , which tags are supported.. and that's it.. nothing more supported in that class.

If you still want to show some CSS and Styles then I think you will have to use webview instead of the edittext or textbox.
