Hi,
I read that Tika has an ability to discard some elements , by using:
\*isDiscardElement[http://tika.apache.org/1.2/api/org/apache/tika/parser/html/HtmlMapper.html#isDiscardElement(java.lang.String)](http://tika.apache.org/1.2/api/org/apache/tika/parser/html/HtmlMapper.html#isDiscardElement(java.lang.String))
\*
in HtmlMapper
I was wondering if there is any way of adding this as a property to the
attachment plugin to discard certain elements in html
for example - when indexing some html files that all have the same menu or
headers
