[jira] [Commented] (TIKA-754) Automatic line break insertion (BR element) instead of '\n' in XHTMLContentHandler

["Jukka Zitting (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-754?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13129637#comment-13129637 ] 

Jukka Zitting commented on TIKA-754:
------------------------------------

I don't think it's necessarily a good idea to make an assumption like this in XHTMLContentHandler.

It's better to explicitly emit an <br/> element in a specific Parser implementation when it's clear that the underlying document format really does indicate a hard line break instead of just a soft one that could/should be positioned differently if the displayed line length changes.

> As seen with some parsers (PDF, PPT), some text blocks still contains text carriage returns ('\n') in the outputted XHTML. 
> A global fix for this could be located in XHTMLContentHandler.characters(...).
> By analyzing the given char array, when a '\n' char is encountered insert a BR element instead.
