--------------------------------------

Is there still interest/a possibility of implementing this? I haven't worked with the word document Parsers.

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-524
>             Project: Tika
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: parser
>    Affects Versions: 0.7
>            Reporter: Geoff Jarrad
>            Priority: Minor

> Word documents can easily be transformed, apparently without loss of information, between common storage formats, such as .doc, .docx and .odt.
> However, when the above variants of a single document are analysed with the respective Tika parsers, OfficeParser, OOXMLParser and OpenDocumentParser, the resulting HTML output varies considerably between parsers.
> Given the latest advances in these parsers, it should now be feasible to: (i) establish a common HTML representation that can adequately describe word document content, and  (ii) modify the aforementioned parsers to conform to this new standard.
> Points of interest include: headings, pre-formatted text and other styles, headers and footers, tables, hyperlinks, etc.
