Michael McCandless commented on TIKA-1181:
------------------------------------------
The RTFParser currently only carries bold and italic styling through; I guess
we could add underline.
It doesn't try to preserve any colors.
Really the goal is (mostly?) text extraction, not precise formatting of the
extracted text, so I think colors/styling are somewhat low priority. But I
suppose underling/colors can convey information about how important that text
was, and so could be useful to stages (like indexing with Lucene) after text
extraction.
> RTFParser not keeping HTML font colors and underscore tags.

> Affects Versions: 1.4

> Labels: RTFParser
>
> Hi,
> I'm having problems with this code. It does not put the font colors and
> underscores "<u></u>" tags in the HTML from the RTF string. Is there anything
> I can do to put them there?
> Code:
> InputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(rtfString.getBytes("UTF-8"));
>
> org.apache.tika.parser.rtf.RTFParser parser = new
> org.apache.tika.parser.rtf.RTFParser();
>
> Metadata metadata = new Metadata();
> StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
> SAXTransformerFactory factory = (SAXTransformerFactory)
> SAXTransformerFactory.newInstance();
> TransformerHandler handler = factory.newTransformerHandler();
>
> handler.getTransformer().setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml");
>
> handler.getTransformer().setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "no");
> handler.setResult(new StreamResult(sw));
> parser.parse(in, handler, metadata, new ParseContext());
> String xhtml = sw.toString();
>
> xhtml = xhtml.replaceAll("\r\n", "<br>\r\n");
> Thanks for looking at it.
