Return XHTML content as well (the Tika default) #2

It would be awesome, if the bridge could not only deliver plain text, but as well the XHTML that can be generated by the Tika default configuration :-)

Hi @alxlo, out of interest, what is the use-case for XHTML output?

alxlo commented 9 years ago

Hi Matthew, the XHTML contains a separate div-section for each page of a PDF file. I am currently experimenting with lunr.js to generate a search index on the server side to be used by a (mobile) client application and hope to deliver more precise search hits by indicating not only the PDF, but also the the page in the PDF for search hits. Best regards, Alexander

Try the tika.xhtml method available on the master branch. Be warned that there are breaking changes with the way options are specified.

Thank you so much, works like a charme!
