NW Brad commented on TIKA-2562:
-------------------------------

I was doing some research on this today and this may not be a function of Tika. 
 I think it is probably the SAXTransformerFactory (javax.xml.transform) that is 
making the change.  At least I could find any code in Tika that did it 
directly.  But anything I ran through the SAXTransformerFactory converted the 
HTML I provided with void (empty) elements and self-closing start tags as shown 
below:

<a href="http://www.google.com";></a> *becomes* <a 
href="http://www.google.com*"/>*

and <p></p> *becomes* <p/>.

>From an XML standpoint the converted syntax is correct, but the anchor tag 
>code while correct in XML, does not appear to work correctly as HTML in both 
>the current version of Chrome and Firefox.  So, converting HTML via Tika in 
>this situation generates bad HTML for the examples I have.

I believe the SAXTransformerFactory is also deleting the <div> that is around 
the "empty" anchor tag since a div around nothing is may not be consider 
relevant.  I least that is what I speculate...
