Tilman Hausherr commented on TIKA-2650:
---------------------------------------
I wrote that it depends. There is no perfect solution. In your example, the
unsorted is better.
Re soft-hyphens, how would one see the difference between a soft-hyphen and a
real one? These are just "-". They don't have a different char code. Sometimes
this could be a word that has a hyphen in the middle. For example,
"anti-misbruikbepaling" has the same "-" than "voorafbetalin-
gen". A solution would have to be dictionary-based.
> Soft-hyphen is not extracted properly
