David Cook <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #10 from David Cook <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Aleisha Amohia from comment #4) > text area fields in MARC records are not designed to > carry formatting, therefore it is implied that the data would be saved as a > plain text string with no added formatting. As far as I know, there is no prohibition against using carriage returns and line feeds in MARC records. The MARCXML schema seems to indicate that all whitespace is allowed: https://www.loc.gov/standards/marcxml/schema/MARC21slim.xsd. That said, I haven't ever seen an example that includes them either. > For users who follow these cataloguing standards, there should be a setting > to ask Koha to strip these. > > Planning to amend StripWhitespaceChars to also strip inner line breaks and > carriage returns. It would probably be a good idea to indicate that it's data fields and not the leader and control fields that are affected. -- I'd also suggest adding an additional option for inner newlines. While I can see the utility of trimming whitespace off the beginning and end, I imagine that many librarians would be frustrated by inner whitespace being trimmed (at least if there wasn't a clear warning about it). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
