> There are several Tika issues related to how TagSoup cleans up HTML ([TIKA-381], [TIKA-985], maybe [TIKA-715]), but TagSoup doesn't seem to be under active development.
> On the other hand I know of several projects that are now using [JSoup|https://github.com/jhy/jsoup], which is an active project (albeit only one main contributor) under the MIT license.
> I haven't looked into how hard it would be to switch this dependency.
