Tim Allison commented on TIKA-1896:
-----------------------------------
This is the stream of start/end elements and calls to characters. We get
roughly the same mis-parsing if the closing tag is malformed or simply not
there. TagSoup is emitting characters for what should be parsed as a tag.
You aren't seeing this misunderstanding in Tika because we don't pass on
characters unless they're in the title or the body.

> Key: TIKA-1896
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1896
> Project: Tika
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: parser
> Affects Versions: 1.12
> Reporter: Matthew Caruana Galizia
> Attachments: test.html
>
>
> When an HTML file contains an invalid closing script tag, all content after
> that tag is interpreted as script data and therefore ignored.
> Reduced test case file attached.
> To reproduce:
> 1) create a file with the following HTML
> {code:html}
> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
> "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>
> <html>
> <head>
> <script lang="javascript"></script language>
> </head>
> <body>
> <p>This is a test.</p>
> </body>
> </html>
> {code}
> 2) {{java -jar tika-app-1.12.jar -t test.html}}
> Expected result:
> {{This is a test.}}
> What is actually returned:
> Nothing.
