Use Class StringBuilder

 StringBuilder contentBuilder = new StringBuilder();
 try {
      BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("mypage.html"));
      String str;
      while ((str = in.readLine()) != null) {
          contentBuilder.append(str);
      }
      in.close();
 } catch (IOException e) {
      System.err.println("HTML File Read Error: " + e.getMessage());
 }
 String content = contentBuilder.toString();

You can use a DOM Parser and read all Elements and Attributes. Or you could use this library(jsoup) which is based on the DOM Parser.

NekoHTML is one of the many html parsers that you could use.

No, since that doesn't make sense: HTML has no useful notion of "line". What you need to do is read the HTML element by element.

There are lots of parsers for XML but HTML is a more lenient, so you need a special parser for it. Try JTidy.
