Presently, I'm trying a mix of generally PDF and OpenOffice documents that have
had previous success. The relevant code is mainly something like this:
AutoDetectParser parser = new AutoDetectParser();
Metadata md = new Metadata();
CustomContentHandler handler = new CustomContentHandler();
parser.parse(Files.newInputStream(Paths.get("myfile"), handler, md);
In the CustomContentHandler (extending DefaultHandler from SAX) I implement the
startElement and endElement events, and log each such item. Previously, I
would get a number of "a", "div", and other HTML tag events. Since 2.1.0, I
only get "html", "head", a few "meta" tags, and a "title", and "body".

Subject: Re: Tika 2.1 custom ContentHandler question
Can you share the code you're using? How are you injecting your
custom ContentHandler? Is this occurring on pdf documents or ppt/pptx
or something else?
