[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Line Breaks (Windows/UNIX)

[RENTON Scott]

Hi folks,

Sorry to have two tickets in at once. I tried this one out on the Google Group- 
thought I'd hit paydirt, but then discovered the advice was helpful but didn't 
solve the issue.

We're just trying to get our heads round line breaks assignation. We have an 
archivist who is cataloguing content, and we notice through the API that they 
are being recorded with Windows (CR-LF) line endings.

 "subnotes": [
{
  "jsonmodel_type": "note_text",
  "content": "Recorded by E. Sinclair on Vatersay in 1962, (eg. 
SA1962.05)\r\n\r\nRecorded by James Ross on Vatersay in 1956, (eg.SA1956.069.1, 
SA1956.087)\r\n\r\nThis lady is great (SA1960.124 proverbs)! JB 
9/6/09\r\n\r\nThere is a duplicate 5810 - use this one. EmM 9/6/09\r\n\r\nbiog 
info on SA1958.157 track 3. \"Brief history of contributor.\r\n\r\nNan 
MacKinnon was born in Kentangaval in 1903, and moved to Vatersay at age four. 
She spent several years working on the mainland, then came home and worked at 
the herring. She learned most of her songs when she came home, from her 
mother.\" more detail on tape, mentions other place names.",
  "publish": false
}

It appears that these line breaks do not appear in 'View' mode in the frontend 
as being respected, but while we can see them in 'Edit' mode, the cataloguers 
do need to see the line breaks in 'View' mode. If we were seeing UNIX LF 
endings (\n), it does seem to work.

We thought it was just that the users had been cutting and pasting from a Word 
Doc, and if we changed manually in the interface they'd be fixed, but 
apparently not. Even copying in the content in the attached file- which I've 
converted to UNIX file endings results in Windows ones. Is it possible there's 
a hidden character I'm not converting that's governing all of this?

Cheers
Scott

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Using Arabic or right-to-left scripts in AS title field

[Bradley Bauer]

Thanks very much, Blake.

So at this point, should we just sit tight, knowing that the issue is under
review?

Best,

Brad

Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Using Arabic or right-to-left scripts in AS title field

[Blake Carver]

There is a JIRA here about providing better support for right-to-left (RTL) 
scripts, ideally bi-directional text

https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/ANW/issues/ANW-1144

And another about Hebrew characters printed left-to-right in staff-side PDFs

Subject: Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Using Arabic or right-to-left scripts 
in AS title field

Hello all,

I am interested in this as well, as I have wanted to enter Arabic titles of 
documents or printed items (such as ephemera or printed material) in their own 
script, and not just as transliterated text, where possible.

Over the months, I have experienced a couple of things when doing so, either in 
the title field, or in notes.

On one level, having both the Arabic and Latin script in the same field won't 
work, left-to-right and right-to-left texts don't share fields very well.  That 
led me to start using the "notes" field at the file level, so I could put an 
alternate form of the title below, and see whether it displays.  I tried this 
initially using English in the title field, and Arabic in the note (although 
one could do the reverse as well).  The first time I tried that, when I created 
a preview copy, it gave me just hash-tag symbols instead of Arabic text.  
Recently when I tried again, I got Arabic letters, but separated, and only in 
their initial form, not the medial or final forms of the letters (using the 
correct form is critical in Arabic text, which has three forms based on the 
placement of a given letter within a word).  So the display in Arabic would 
read something like this:  A-R-A-B-I-C_T-E-X-T.

If there are some well-proven work-arounds for that, it would be really helpful 
to know.

Best regards,
