-------------------------------------------------------
Thanks. I checked it out and tagsoup is definitely adding the shape. I tried
parsing the file using tagsoup command line, and tagsoup added the shape.
However, it appears that the <div> removal is coming from tika.
Tagsoup parse results:
<div>
<a shape="rect"
href="http://www.google.com";>[http://www.google.com|http://www.google.com/]</a>
</div>
Tika parse results:
<a shape="rect"
href="http://www.google.com";>[http://www.google.com|http://www.google.com/]</a>
The div is gone...
I also noted another problem with parsing that is coming from Tika and not
tagsoup when dealing with hidden anchors/hyperlinks:
original:
<a href="http://www.google.com";></a>
Tagsoup:results
<a shape="rect" href="http://www.google.com*";></a>*
Tika results:
<a shape="rect" href="http://www.google.com*"/>*
Tika seems to alter anchor by removing the end-tag and replacing it with an
empty-element tag. This occurs on other tags as well, most common being
<p></p> with <p/>.
This may not seem to be a big deal, but with anchors it is causing a problem
with Chrome and Firefox and the anchor style bleeds into content immediately
following the anchor.
Is there a way in Tika to turn off this feature? If not, do you know where in
the code this occurs.
Thanks.
