Unfortunately there were no responds to my question. Whenever You include a markup-language in the field values, You will have problems during searching. When You search for example for carbon dioxide as 'CO2', and You encoded it as 'CO<sub>2</sub>', You will never find it! A possible way to solve the problem would be to split metadata values into two fields: one for harvesting / indexing and one for presenting - like dc.title and dc.title.display. Then it would (theoretically) be possible to include something like HTML or TeX in the presentation field and allow DSpace to render it, while doing the search on the "normal" field. But to do the rendering one must modify the DSpace code...
We still have no practical solution for this problem. Best regards Robert Yuyun Wirawati ISHAK (LIBRIS) schrieb: > Hi Robert > I'm having the same question.
