             Summary: Document headers and footers in metadata
                 Key: TIKA-1768
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1768
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Aeham Abushwashi


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.
