Stuart, D-Space colleagues, 

I can see why embedded HTML is a poor idea (<iframe> anyone?).  I'm having 
issues with embedded raw Unicode.  Metadata with Unicode characters, like a 
macron on a vowel, for example, or a diaresis, sorts and searches differently 
to that vowel on its own.  For example, Māori is searched for as a different 
word to Maori .  Hüsker Dü is different from Husker Du.  

Is there anything I can do to sort and search as if ā and a are the same 
character?

DSpace uses the apache CSV having library which supports embedded line feeds. I 
recommend using your choice of spreadsheet and exporting as CSV.

We use line feeds to get stuff like: 
http://researcharchive.vuw.ac.nz/handle/10063/2845 If they're not displaying 
you may need to add a line to style.css:

.simple-item-view-description div {white-space: pre-wrap;}

Embedded HTML is a _really_ bad idea.

cheers
