Ulf Dittmer commented on TIKA-1768:
-----------------------------------

As a semi-related issue, I'd like to see an option to have parsers ignore headers and footers.

> I have a use case where I need document headers and footers to be explicitly marked as such in Tika's output metadata fields. As far as I can see, there's no easy built-in way for doing this.
> The attached patch adds a HeaderFooterContentHandler which enables addition of headers and footers into their own metadata fields. This works out of the box with Word file formats.
> Also included in the patch are some tweaks to enable Excel and Powerpoint parsers/extractors to explicitly mark headers and footers as such in the output XHTML and
> enable the aforementioned content handler to spot them. Unit tests have been added, and existing ones modified, to verify that the parsers and the content handler work together correctly.
