-----------------------------------------------------------
Thank you!
This question is for [~jeffswindle] and fellow Tika devs (esp. [~rgauss] and
[~gagravarr]), should we:
1) add macro text as metadata items (e.g. msoffice:macro)
2) inline them in the content via <div> elements?
3) treat them as embedded documents (mime type would be?)
I'd prefer option 1 or 3. Option 1 is probably simpler for end users; but
option 3 would allow us to capture metadata about the macro.
-[~jeffswindle], the title of this issue is for msoffice...is it ok to limit
this to ooxml? Do you need this for the older doc and xls?- Already handled by
POI at no extra cost. :)

I'd prefer a metadata item for each macro, but could go either way.

> Tika supports macro-enabled Microsoft Office documents by extracting metadata
> and contents, however, macros within the document are not in the metadata or

> Desire is to have the macro text extracted also.
