             Summary: Add line-breaks when parsing HTML block-level elements
                 Key: NUTCH-2611
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-2611
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 1.14
            Reporter: Yossi Tamari


Currently, the HTML and Tika parser only add newlines following text-nodes that contain only whitespaces (e.g </span> <span>), but not based on what the tags are, so for example a </div><div> will not add a new line.

While some applications do not differentiate between a space and a new line, many others see the semantic difference (two following words in the same sentence are "near", but in separate sentences they are not).

I believe adding newlines after block-level HTML elements, while not a panacea, will be an improvement on the current behavior.

NUTCH-2318 is related to this.
