Hi Benjamin,
It sounds like you want to use the IdentityHtmlMapper (so no HTML elements get
transformed), and your own content handler, so that you get all of the tag
start/end SAX events. So something like...
Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
ParseContext parseContext = new ParseContext();
parseContext.set(HtmlMapper.class, IdentityHtmlMapper.INSTANCE);
new HtmlParser().parse (
myInputStream,
myContentHandler,
metadata,
parseContext);
Where myContentHandler is an instance of a custom class that extends
org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler (similar to ToTextContentHandler in Tika).
This will get called with all of the SAX events, in particular startElement(),
endElement(), and characters()
