Nick Burch resolved TIKA-2479.
------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.19
2.0
XLS, XLSX and XLSB should now all do basically the same thing. Missing left or
mid cells are now output as an empty {{td}}, which preserves the table column
layout. Missing rows are by default skipped, to minimise empty lines in the
output, but can be enabled on {{OfficeParserConfig}} if desired
The only thing you'd need some custom code for is if you want to enforce a
minimum number of columns in a row, as there's no right-padding of missing /
never used cells.

> It looks like we output a <td/> for empty cells in xls, and tables in doc,
> docx and pptx. However, we don't retain empty cells in xlsx or tables in
> ppt. We should make this handling uniform.
