You can change the OutputSettings for this:

Example:

final String html = ...;      OutputSettings settings = new OutputSettings();  settings.escapeMode(Entities.EscapeMode.xhtml);    String cleanHtml = Jsoup.clean(html, "", Whitelist.relaxed(), settings);

This is possible with a Document parsed by Jsoup too:

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(...);  doc.outputSettings().escapeMode(Entities.EscapeMode.xhtml);    // ...

Edit:

Removing tags:

doc.select("p:matchesOwn((?is) )").remove();
