Description

I'm converting Excel files, both .xls and .xlsx.
.xls uses org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.OfficeParser and
.xlsx uses org.apache.tika.parser.microsoft.ooxml.OOXMLParser

If I have a link in my excel document, for example [e-mail], the .xls parser adds additional elements in the document structure which shows an incorrect output of how the document looks.

For example, this table in file.xls:
mailadress password
[e-mail] hohoho

will output:
<div class="page">
<h1>Sheet1</h1>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>mailadress</td>
<td>password</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>[e-mail]</td>
<td>hohoho</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<div class="outside">
<a href="mailto:[e-mail]">[e-mail]</a>
</div>
</div>

The <div class="outside"> should be removed because it does not correspond to the document structure.
