Sai Konuri commented on TIKA-3814:
----------------------------------
Thanks Nick and Tim!
As suggested, I agree that we are left with two options:
# Write a custom handler that skips the line break characters if we are inside
the text tags (<p> <span> <text> <body> etc.)
# We also tried replacing the "\r\n" with "" and that is giving us desirable
results so far. We need to do some more testing for this however
> Extracted text from HTML file does not exclude newline chars from body
