Diacritics are assumed to be handled outside the editor, say by a compose key on linux. Dollar signs are only interpreted as subfield separators when they are followed by a lowercase letter or number and a space; thus, $19.00 will not cause any problems, though $1 will. You can edit the leader; it is just hidden in our MARC framework and autogenerated. On a default Koha install, the relevant parts of the leader will be autogenerated and shown in the editor. The editor really only supports the "245 11 $a Pizza / $b by Mario Piazzo" format, though it could easily be extended to parse others. > > Is it possible to use this outside of Koha--how integrated is it?

I have attached the CGI script and template; you can replace addbiblio.pl with this script entirely, or you can patch addbiblio.pl to redirect to addbiblio-text.pl based on the value of the MARCEditor preference (also attached). The CGI code does have some unneeded functions and rough parts; it could be cleaned up a lot. -- Jesse
