Support HTML5 elements

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments 

Now that HTML5 becomes more pervasive on the web, it might be worth considering 
additional parsing support in places, one example being the recently added 
image extractor. HTML5 includes <figure> and <figcaption> for adding semantics 
to images, especially the figcaption element is of interest since the text 
could be used to determine image relevancy in relation to the extracted 
document text.

NAV, FOOTER, and HEADER should also help eliminate chunks of unwanted text.
