[jira] Commented: (TIKA-385) Incorrect handling of hyperlinks in .docx

["Dave Meikle (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-385?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12839458#action_12839458 ] 

Dave Meikle commented on TIKA-385:
----------------------------------

This is the default behaviour in POI - see XWPFHyperlinkDecorator[0].  This currently has a TODO for outputting the link in the correct location, so we could have a go at fixing that in POI to correct it, or indeed just implement our own in the meantime.

Does anyone know of a reason as to why it would just be <link_url> in the output?  For internal links maybe?

Cheers,
Dave

> Hyperlinks are incorrectly parsed in at least some office 2007 word files.  The attached file is one example. 
> There are two problems with the handling
>  - an incorrectly formatted link is generated, instead of <a href="http://somewhere"> you get <http://somewhere>
>  - the link is in the incorrect location in the extracted text; the links in the attached document end up at the end of the paragraph that they were originally in the middle of
> Both of these issues cause problems later on when using Tika with Solr
>  - the incorrect links are not picked up by the built in HTML filter classes
>  - the garbled text order creates unhelpful snippets when highlighting
