---------------------------------------
Summary: Invalid self-closing title tag when parsing an RTF file
Key: TIKA-914
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-914
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Components: parser
Affects Versions: 1.1
Environment: Reproduced on Linux and Windows
Reporter: Nicolas Guillaumin
Priority: Minor
Attachments: test.rtf
When parsing an RTF file with an empty TITLE metadata, the resulting HTML
contains an self-closing title tag:
{code}
$ java -jar tika-app-1.1.jar -h test.rtf
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<meta name="Content-Length" content="830468"/>
<meta name="Content-Type" content="application/rtf"/>
<meta name="resourceName" content="test.rtf"/>
<title/>
</head>
[...]
{code}
I believe self-closing tags are not valid in XHTML, according to
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_3 (However there's no XHTML doctype generated
here, just a namespace...). Anyway this causes some browsers like Chrome to
fail parsing the HTML, resulting in a blank page displayed.
The expected output would be a non self-closing empty tag: {{<title></title>}}
