Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-648:
----------------------------------
I think this should be closed, and an improvement request made against TagSoup.
The issue is that TagSoup currently will close the open <a> tag when it hits
the <div>. But it could hold onto that markup until it gets something else that
indicates it's time to assume a missing closing </a>. Then, when it does see
the </a>, it could emit the text while dumping the <div> tags. I know, pretty
ugly, but I think that's how browsers handle it.

> Key: TIKA-648
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-648
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 0.9
> Reporter: Markus Jelsma
> Fix For: 1.0
>
>
> Using Nutch with Tika 0.9 i cannot extract all two outlinks from a given page
> [1]. This is because Tika doensn't return the document with the anchor text
> embedded and Nutch skips empty anchors when collecting outlinks.
> The raw HTML is:
> <a href="#"><div>bla 1</div></a>
> <a href="#">bla 2</a>
> But the parsed HTML with tika-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -h test.html is:
> <a shape="rect" href="#"/>bla 1
> <a shape="rect" href="#">bla 2</a>
> [1]: http://people.apache.org/~markus/test.html
