How can I convert EditText to html without nesting specific tags

I use this code to convert the text of edittext to html

    String html = Html.toHtml(edittext.getText);

But it keeps nesting tags. That's not my problem. But I don't want to nest some specific tags like <img>

For example, this is the text of EditText:

Hello how are you?
[Here's an image.]

Expected result:

    <p dir="ltr">Hello how are you</p> 
    <img src="path/to/image">

But it gives me this:

    <p dir="ltr">Hello how are you<br> <img src="path/to/image"> </p>

I don't want that <img> tag gets nested in the the <p>. Because I couldn't show the image later. I just need to avoid only <img> gets nested. Not other tags.

You can split the string before converting it by delimiter: 

String getHtml = "<p dir="ltr">Hello how are you</p> <img src="path/to/image">"; 
String[] splitElements = getHtml.split("</p>");

And after that, you can pass both strings and convert those. They will be separate and non-nested.
