Empty title element makes Tika-generated HTML documents not open
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-895
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-895
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: metadata
Affects Versions: 1.1
Environment: Windows 7
Reporter: Benoit MAGGI
Priority: Trivial
I try to transform an empty docx to an html file.
Ex : java -jar tika-app-1.1.jar -x example.docx > t.html
The html file can't be open with Firefox,Internet Explorer and Chrome.
The main point is that <title/> seems to be forbiden by html specification
(can't get the point on html5)

bq. 7.4.2 The TITLE element
bq. <!-- The TITLE element is not considered part of the flow of text.
bq. It should be displayed, for example as the page header or
bq. window title. Exactly one title is required per document.

bq. <!ELEMENT TITLE

-(%head.misc;
bq. <http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/dtd.html#head.misc> ) -- document title
-->
bq. <!ATTLIST TITLE %i18n <http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/dtd.html#i18n> >
bq. *Start tag: required, End tag: required*
For information there was the same bug with xls
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-725
The simple solution should be to provide an empty title by default
